Using lists in the library It will often be useful to return more that a single piece of data from a library handler. Next we will update the sayHello handler to take a string containing a comma separated list of names, and return a LiveCode Builder list with an element containing a Hello message for

Passing parameters to the library In many cases you will want to use parameters in your library handlers. Handler definitions have the form: <HandlerType> handler <HandlerName>(<ParameterList>) [ returns <ReturnType> end handlerName The parameter list is a comma separated list of parameters, each of which has the form ( ‘in’ | ‘out’ | ‘inout’ ) <ParameterName>

If a type is not specified it is taken to be the most general type optional any (meaning any value, including nothing). What is a strongly typed language? If a language is defined as typed it means

In this lesson we will extend the minimal LiveCode Builder library we created in Lesson 1. We will Learn about LiveCode Builder types. Work with LiveCode Builder lists. Learn about type conversion between LCB and LiveCode script. Pass a parameter to the sayHello handler. Document the library using documentation comments. Browse the library documentation in

Testing the library Now we have a complete library we want to compile and test it. To do this we use the LiveCode Extension Builder. Open LiveCode Open the Extension Builder from the Tools Menu The Extension Builder 1. Open button – allows you to select and load the extension you wish to build. 2.

LiveCode Builder Extensions In this lesson we will create a minimal LiveCode Builder library which extends the set of commands and functions available in LiveCode. We will Install and configure an appropriate text editor for developing in LiveCode Builder. Create a Hello World library which extends LiveCode with a single function, which returns the string
