Sorry i was not clear enough. When using Ali's steps creating the widget using the message box i also get only an empty widget. When i try to install it using the extension builder then LC is crashing. Maybe there are some steps missing in Ali's description.
I have plenty of ideas what i could use that new feature for. > . But I see none of the properties in the inspector. The properties of the controls in the widget are not accessible through the PI, you have to set/get them by script set the fillcolor of widget id 1047 to "black" for example would change the background color of the square to black Matthias > Am 22.04.2023 um 00:46 schrieb Håkan Liljegren <ha...@exformedia.se>: > > 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.
