Is it possible yet to use builder to wrap an external dll? If so, could someone point me at a hopefully simple example?
Also, threading.. While I understand that in many cases multithreading can take some serious planning, But there are some instances where it would be great to just pop something free and let it run. For example, the clock widget. Its a clock. Since cpu time is shared, any intensive processing will keep it from updating. Other than running the clock in a separate instance, is there ANY way to keep it updating properly? (Other than wait 0 with messages, which adds overhead the whatever already intensive process is causing the interference) >From the first question.. If one were to wrap an external that does updating of time, would it still be subject to the whips of whatever cpu lc is currently running on? (at least for the visual updates on a stack) I'm a little excited about builder because i'm actually getting things to work now! And having error messages that are meaningful has helped too. (the "pink circle" example is actually pink now, syntax has been updated to avoid deprecated types, and I've added features that actually work! Yes. Adding features to a pink circle.) Previously, I couldn't get the "in 8 steps" example to work at all. _______________________________________________ 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
