Re: Can I still change LC code?

Of course, you can start 'rolling your own' by cloning the IDE stacks then 
customizing those clones as you wish.

However, if you have improvements to make, you can always submit them along
with a bug report.

Alright, I'll have to add that to my list.  Thanks for the hints Jacqueline.

Just roll your own. Any mod to the IDE goes away next time you update.

Re: Can I still change LC code?

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

I agree with Craig that you're better off making your own. There is a built-in mechanism for 
this: the dialogData. It's a generic global property, always available, specifically for moving 
data between a modal stack and your scripts. You don't need to declare it as a global, it's 
always there.


Create a stack with the controls you need, and open it as modal. When the user hits the OK 
button (or whatever dismisses the stack,) use a closeStack handler to put the data you need 
into the dialogData. Your script will pause when the modal opens and resume when it closes, so 
you just get the dialogData in the line after the one that opened the modal.


Be sure to grab the data in the same handler that opened the modal stack, because a lot of 
things use it and it can change often.

Hi Folks,

Am I allowed to modify the answer and ask dialog stack to be what I need it
to be? and build my standalones from the modified version?

and can those modified stacks be shared with others?

Thanks in advance,

Re: Can I still change LC code?

[Craig Newman via use-livecode]

Tom.

There was a pretty long thread here about modifying those dialogs. They are 
just stacks, after all, but the IDE is protective of them. I think the upshot 
was that you can hack anything, but better to roll your own. These would be 
just stacks, after all, and you can start with a clean slate. Since they are 
yours, sharing them is no different than sharing anything else.

Craig
