Thanks Mike, if I can contribute anything useful I will.

That's
great.
Searching the archives to find out where this special thing could be
obtained
from (hint for my future self, it's in the IDE under the Tools menu) I
found
references to the Extending LiveCode guide... which is obviously what I
should
have read in the first place.
Thanks all!

I last dabbled with LCB about five years ago - but now I have a need to
get
in there again.
Are there any tips that you-all can share?
In particular:
- what if anything is available for debugging LCB widgets?
- I've found a reference to a LiveCode Builder CLM module developed by
James
Hale - where might I find this?
- a really basic question - if I make a change to an LCB widget,
defined in
~/Documents/LiveCode/Extensions; what's the quickest route to testing
it?
Can I delete and re-add the widget? Or do close+remove-from-memory the
stack, and then reopen it? Or do I need to quit and relaunch LiveCode
in
order to see the change?
- any other pointers or suggestions gratefully received.
Use the extension builder to test the widget. I keep a text editor open
to
edit the code and press the test button after editing. No need to
relaunch
either the builder or the IDE. Debugging is minimal.
I've found very little documentaion on LCB, and much of what I've found
is
either out of date or partial or wrong.
