Re: Object naming conventions

Pete, I wouldn't bother adding such complexity. If your naming convention is good then others will just use it. If it's bad you need to change it ;-) And as far as those that just want to do their own thing, to hell with them, they shouldn't be using your tool in the first place !! best, Bob.

Thanks for the thoughts Bob. For those who have replied, here's the reason behind the question. I'm about to ask for beta testers for an LC tool that greatly speeds up the development of applications that use SQL databases. Part of the tool is a palette of controls that you can drag and drop ont

Re: Object naming conventions

Pete, It's a great question, but the last time this was asked on the list I think the discussion went on for three lifetimes (in use-livecode list years) on what exactly should be the standard to use. It seems there's more and different naming conventions in the world than Tim Hortons has serve

Re: Object Naming Conventions

Rene, I really like the idea of prefixes for handlers and functions that tell you where they are located. I'd probably add a prefix for handlers in a library as well. Pete Molly's Revenge On Fri, Oct 7, 2011 at 8:44 AM, René Micout wrote: > > Le 7 oct. 2011 à 16

Re: Object Naming Conventions

Hi from Beautiful Brittany, Pete, there has been a thread on this subject several times, but I'm not against seeing it again. Whatever you do, use a prefix to define ALL your objects, but find a rule that suits you. Don't use a suffix, I'm sure you will regret it. I use a two-letter indicator (
