Source Code

Hi

I appreciate v10 is just released and you are all very busy.

Guessing the WiKi is still being updated to enable downloading of source code. Personally I think this will be a nice feature.

Hello.

Component source code should all be there now. If you right click a component and select help then there should be a link to the component source project.

Aha just checked and the links have become broken in the move. I'll get on it for you.

There is a temp workaround until the links are sorted out
After selecting Help for the component and then clicking on the link for the component, your default browser will open with the 404 not found, and will see a link like this:

Code: Select all

https://www.flowcode.co.uk/wikicopy/componentsource/the_component_name

Just Change the

Code: Select all

https://www.flowcode.co.uk/wikicopy/componentsource/the_component_name

to

Hello,

Links to the component source download and online viewer should be working correctly again now.

Thanks Ben

This is a very helpful inclusion and allows us mere mortals a chance to see how things should be done.

I am just about to play with the GSM component again so thought I'd look at the source out of curiosity. Is there any reason it's "Main" macro is empty? Comparing it to other sources, their "Main's" have calls.

Just curious.

Is there any reason it's "Main" macro is empty? Comparing it to other sources, their "Main's" have calls.

Ben is the expert on this, but when a component is exported and used in a project, the <Main> macro is actually never called. However, when developing the component, it is often useful to have testing and debugging code in <Main>.

So usually you can ignore what is in the <Main> macro for a component.

Thanks to the 'Team' for this - it really will be an excellent resource.....

Hi Ben and at all
I waited for the update of my FC8 because I knew that FC10 would be released soon.
I can't wait for my institution's administration to authorize me to purchase.
I really appreciated the availability of the source code of the components, but I don't understand why I can't download them: do I have to buy FC10 to be able to download??
