Hello everyone Yes, I'm still here! Is there a way to capture the mounting of a CD or DVD? Other than the cheesy "polling" for a disk to appear? I can't find this in the docs. Maybe not possible. Thanks in advance, sqb -- Stephen Barncard - Sebastopol Ca. USA - mixstream.org ___

do you mean the graph widget? if that's what you mean, then... sorry this isn't more helpful, but to get you started, the graph.lcb file is in Tools/Extensions/com.livecode.widget.linegraph, if you want to try reading through it. it's only 1300 lines, total, including the docs. there is not that mu

that's one of the things i'm wondering about, like "did you uninstall it, or just unload it, or did you uninstall it but not unload it? did you build a new version in the test environment and test that against an existing install?" it's been days since i ran into this, and the only notes that i hav

Charts widget.

Anyone using this widget ? Is there some documentation (other than the obvious dictionary entries) about how to do different kinds of chart ? In the last 4-6 months, I've done 3 or 4 little personal projects where I wanted to create a chart, but I've not been able to figure out how to use th

1. is that documented, somewhere, because i cannot find it. 2. that isn't the problem i was having. the problem i was having was that if i took a widget (navRad, for instance), and added code to it, then installed the new version, preexisting copies of the widget would not execute the new code. new

The widgets are identified by the reverse dns name. As long as that name does not change, LC will use whichever version is currently installed in the IDE. The issue is that you can’t take the LC version of a widget and then build your own version with a new name and have the settings easily co

i just re-tested this, and came up with the opposite result (modifying the widget and rebuilding it causes existing copies to behave the new way). So, it's time to come up with a recipe for one versus the other... welcome to the weeds... On Sun, Sep 25, 2022 at 2:28 PM Mike Kerner wrote: > and i

How's this: the expected behavior is not documented (as far as I can find), so I don't know what the expected behavior is. I have tested modifying a widget, rebuilding it, and re-adding it to LC. That does not seem to cause existing widgets to update. Is that a bug in my code, and am I doing someth
