Re: BN Guides

15(?) years ago I wrote an app that bounced a bunch of balls across the screen. Each was a shaped-stack. It has no trouble being pretty smooth even with twenty or so stacks, as I recall. It would be more than enough for guides, especially with the 100x hardware we have today. Positioning a sta

Re: BN Guides

I've fantasized about being able to paint directly to the window buffer without using an object, but having done that in C back in the day I enjoy the conveniences scripted objects bring. Your stack suggestion is intriguing, but how does it work in practice? I find the systemic overhead of dyn

Re: BN Guides

He's also throwing controls into the stack to show guides for the alignment, and then disposing of those. So maybe in for a penny? If I were doing something like this I think I'd try: 1. A frontscript, as you say, or just setting up to receive IDE messages -- pretty sure there's an objectMoved ID

Re: BN Guides

Okay, so it looks like BN Guides works by assigning behaviors to controls and temporarily adding controls to your stack as you drag things. I think this is meant to be transient as you drag controls. Navigator out of the box assumes that behaviors are what you're interested in when you double-click

Re: BN Guides

Where are the BN guides? I'd be curious to see how this is happening. As I recall, Navigator is designed to dive through whatever behaviors are set regardless of how deep the rabbit hole goes to find the actual behavior, but I haven't looked at that part of the code in years. gc On Thu, Aug 25, 2

Hi Bob, There is an alternative for guide right now https://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/1002/DevGuides-Plugin-Installer and 10.0.0 DP4 has guides built-in. They look and work really well. I will not develop bnGuides further since starting LC 10 they will be part of the IDE. I liked the idea
