lingo-l scrolling driving me mad

2004-04-27 Thread nik crosina
Hi,

How come that whe I scroll a field with 'scrollbyLine', the lines that scroll out of 
view at the top also scroll out of everything! They don't seem to exist anymore!

I need to - at all times - know how many lines a complete field has not only how many 
lines are VISIBLE. I need that as the scrolling field contains checkboxes, and when 
they are ticked I need to know how many lines down the tick is, as that references to 
items in a list!

HELP, is this a bug or a feture! and in any case: how do I drive 'round it!

Best and Thanks
Nik

I think it is the replacing of the tick-box symbol into the field of a ticked- box 
symbol that is does not like, this resets the scroll top to 0, and messes everything 
up. I am still using Dir8.5 - hope that the instabilities and bugs with fields are 
gone in the later(test) versions of Dir.

Best 
Nik

Thanks, that works...almost.  It fires for maximize and minimize, as you
say, but doesn't fire for normalize (returning to an open but
non-maximized state from other minimized or maximized state).  I would
need some way of detecting this normalize also.
AD
place a single pixel somewhere on your stage (I'd suggest upper right 
corner) with a behavior on it that tracks that pixel's screen 
location  so it will be able to tell if 'normalize' has occurred

(it will probably need to take maximize  minimize into account also)

OR

build your own titlebar w/zoom box w/behavior on it  use the 
desktopRectList to manage the 3 operations.

 AFAIK, the on zoomWindow handler is supposed to fire when a window's
 maximize/minimize boxes are clicked.

Which Director version, and what's the syntax you're using?

lingo-l Unwanted highlight

2004-04-27 Thread Kerry Thompson
This is a bit strange. When I get data from a field, it highlights the
text. Dir MX, Win XP Pro, Mac 10.3.

I'm getting it either to print or to save. Either way, I'm calling this
handler:

on mGetPrintOutput me
  printData = member(InstructionsTextMember).text  return  return 
pEditableTextMember.text
  return printData
end

pEditableTextMember is a text member. Before I print or save, the
selection is equal the length. That is, if the text is 9 characters
long, the selection is [9,9]. After I print, the selection is [0,9].

I swear, I'm not setting the selection anywhere. No, I take that back--I
added a method to set the selection to [0, 0] after I print or save. No
dice. The text is still highlighted on the screen.

Has anybody run into this? Any idea what's happening?

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson

I've seen plenty of unwanted selection stuff. I've used workarounds 
that include toggling the editable, and off-screen text entry fields.

I don't have any good explanation as to why it happens though. My 
assumption was that at some point in those processes, the window 
momentarily loses focus (of some kind) to a background task (printing. 
etc.), and when it returns... it selects all the text in the first 
editable text sprite it encounters... probably for... well, some 
reason.  (?)

Re: lingo-l Unwanted highlight

2004-04-27 Thread Sean Wilson

Has anybody run into this? Any idea what's happening?
Are there any other windows - for example, a print dialog - displayed? I've 
seen this happen when something else steals focus such that when it 
returns to the stage, editable text sprites are selected/highlighted. Very 
frustrating and I'm yet to find a satisfactory work-around.
