For me following the steps it doesn’t crash but I get an empty widget without any visible label when I am supposed to create a new widget. If I follow through with the code still nothing is visible. If I create a new script only stack and copy the code of the Square widget. I can create a widget that is placed in the upper left corner. But I see none of the properties in the inspector. If I open the Extension Builder and load the widget and test it it works!
When trying to build a simple widget it is super easy to crash LiveCode. If you use the id of the control but misses the id key word anywhere it crashes. Like: set the backgroundColor of control sMyControlID instead of set the backgroundColor of control id sMyControlID But now it moves forward anyway! My best tips so far: Save often and load the widget via the Extensions Builder Happy coding! > On 21 Apr 2023, at 23:45, matthias rebbe via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > Here LC is also crashing to Desktop. > > Tried now the steps of Ali's lesson, > but LC still is crashing.
