A widget is not an ordinary "object". It's more like a micro-standalone. You'll get what the author provides, as with a standalone or an external. The documentation and property-infos are a *lot* of work and will raise the price of a widget (if not free), just as with standalones or externals. > Brian M. wrote: > One other thing that could be done is to extend the export to include > everything that the engine knows about the widget (i.e. add the > properties array to it). The widget author can already do that by defining a list of persistent properties. Why should the engine override that? _______________________________________________ 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
