PolyList Widget – in the Spotlight

by Steven Crighton on July 26, 2022 37 comments

I’m excited to write about this widget! I’ve really enjoyed playing with it over the last few weeks and challenging it to discover the styles of lists that I can produce with it. I can say confidently, any style of vertical scrolling list I have tried to build with it, I’ve been successful with. Let’s jump in.

PolyList – it’s a new LiveCode widget that allows you to display your data in a custom list view. You can build single or multi column lists that can contain text, images, SVGs and color fills, and you have full control over the style and position of everything. Take a look at this short video to get a sense of the incredibly cool lists you can build in LiveCode with PolyList.

Hello, Hola, Bonjour, Ciao, Γεια, Halò and welcome to another edition of in the Spotlight. We’re looking at the new i18n library from LiveCode. If the intro did not give this away this library is all about internationalization. i18n allows you to easily handle language translations inside your application. Let’s dive in…

First, why i18n? It’s a question I had when I first saw this new library. It turns out, Internationalization just takes too darn long to type, so if you count the number of letters between the first i and the last n in the word you reach 18. There, now it makes sense. Take a look at this short demo video.
