( Not me! :-D ) Just keep wondering if complex grouped controls as the datagrid could be saved and restored faithfully using this method. Ah!... And now that we are talking about compiling binaries from text files... Could this method be used via the Livecode server to create stacks (and download them to your own computer) using a web text editor to write the scripts, create controls and their properties? After this, Livecode will have run the full circle, from GUI oriented platform to plain Text sources compiled as binaries. :-D Al -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Recreating-a-binary-stack-from-xml-text-tp4400122p4400986.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
