Property Sheet for LC (was Re: Right click in field for menu)

[Douglas A. Ruisaard]

Looks like a very nice utility ... *BUT*, I get an error when trying to run
it, either directly from the GoLiveNet app or by installing it and letting
it run:
"There was an error executing a script in the stack 4WProps.  No more
information is available because the stack is password protected"

Although the pop-up does appear.  The  drop-down field at the top of the
pop-up references: stack "libConcord".  The other "options" from the
drop-down list are: "card id 1002" and "Global Properties".  Choosing either
of these two choices also produces the error described above.

I am running Livecode v 9.6.1 on Windows 10 Pro

Subject: Property Sheet for LC (was Re: Right click in field for menu)

Inspectors are great in consumer tools because they provide a convenient way
for less technical types to access the relatively small number of properties
needed for the narrow range of tasks most consumer apps provide.

Property Sheets are the go-to for most professional development tools
because they provide a complete list of all properties supported GUI objects
can support. Sooner or later you'll need even the most obscure properties,
and by listing them all you can anticipate what's there to help solve
problems like the focus issue in this thread.

LiveCode doesn't yet have a Property Sheet, so many devs aren't aware of the
full rich scope of LC's object properties. And when they are, it means
opening the Message Box and typing the setting statement by hand.

So I made a Property Sheet for LC some time ago, accessible right from your
IDE: in the Development menu see Plugins -> GoLiveNet, and you'll find "4W
Props" in the Stacks section.

It updates to show the full list of properties for the current selected
object, and even provides a custom property editor as well.
