[ANN] DropTools Palette - Makes using and distributing custom controls a breeze

Hey everyone! At the RunRevLive 2011 conference I gave a talk on custom controls and demonstrated an easy to use method of adding custom controls to your stacks. It received a lot of great feedback, and so I've worked on it over the last five weeks and now have a really great LiveCode add-on called

Why I love Appleworks

Ever since I bought my first Mac I have used Clarisworks / Appleworks as my primary word-processor ( I even use the Windows version along with WINE on my Linux rig). I use it for writing long stretches of code . . . The NICEST thing about it is that I can use the 4 key that have funny arrows o

My apologies, but I just noticed a minor bug - if you open the Inspector for either the stsImageWell or srCalendar DropTools and you're on Windows or Linux, the Inspector palette did not show a close box, so you couldn't close the Inspector other than by script. This doesn't affect the DropTools P

suspendStack serves a different purpose but the save dialog will pop even if you save the stack in the script of any handler... If you want to avoid that, set the stack mode to modeless in the preopenstack handler. Robert On 05.06.2011 at 8:31 Uhr -0700 Todd Geist apparently wrote: actually

Hi Todd, Are you on a Mac? What you are trying to do won't work without lots of editing in the front scripts of the IDE. If I remember correctly, the reason is that the gRevStackStatus will contain true as soon as a field gets focus and the closeStackRequest handler in the frontscript will make

I think its asking what folder you want it to put the library in, then it creates it on its own, and will supply the correct "start using.. " command. Or add it to the stack for you. I did notice a typo in 1 line of the library script * put ("stack" && q("_" & pCalSize & "Calendar")) && "of stac

Hmm that does make sense, but couldn't find a handler in the library that did so. Removing them makes it appear to work ok for me, but there are probably reasons to add quotes to it that I don't understand. I couldn't find a q handler in the library. On Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 12:55 PM, stephen barnca
