DropTools: Use and distribute custom controls easily

DropTools Palette

Makes using and distributing custom controls a breeze

The DropTools Palette is a free LiveCode utility that lets you drag and drop custom controls directly to your stacks, automatically installing any necessary resources that it may require to operate properly.

A specially designed custom control stack is called a "DropTool"; DropTool stack developers can choose to add built in "about" information, or even a custom "inspector" to manipulate the control once it has been dropped onto a stack.

Become a DropTool Developer!

It takes very little effort to turn a control you have into a DropTool... in fact depending on how it works, it can be as simple as putting it on a stack and setting a few custom properties!

Once you have created your own DropTool, you have a number of different options available for getting it out to other LiveCode developers; you can give it away, sell it on your own site, sell it here on the DropTools site, or pick another distribution method...
