Re: mouseenter/mouseleave and pointer tool

Good suggestions. Thanks, all. Commenting out the answer command makes no difference. I quit LC and now cannot reproduce the behavior as it is intermittent. Next time it happens I'll try Scott's suggestions with the Tool Palette. Thanks, Jim Lambert

Re: mouseenter/mouseleave and pointer tool

Scott/Jim, I often find I MUST click the browse and pointer tool twice before it is established. I know that is a bug (that I live with without complaint even - surprising for me, I know!) but I wonder if this, as Scott suggests, is what is actually going on here. Although in my experiences the

Re: mouseenter/mouseleave and pointer tool

In the video, when you switch tools between Browse and Pointer your cursor does not change to reflect this. Not sure whether this visual anomaly is actually happening on your system or if your cursor is being altered by the video screen capture software. Putting the answer dialog inside the

Re: mouseenter/mouseleave and pointer tool

Hey Jim, To me its doing what its supposed to be doing. The messages get sent in both modes, and have always. However, selection should be possible even if the mousedown is sent and received. So THAT is odd if indeed you cannot select, but you may get that behavior if you take off the "answer

Re: mouseenter/mouseleave and pointer tool

Actually I'm not entirely crazy. Here is a MOV showing the anomalous behavior of mouse events executing even when the Pointer Tool is active. https://netrin.on-rev.com/videos/lc_select_issue.mov This is intermittent. I don't have a

Re: mouseenter/mouseleave and pointer tool

I DO remember SuperEdit. So fast! But it was a completely “dead” development environment. You had to leave it in order to get any messages, IIRC. — Scott > On Mar 29, 2021, at 4:26 PM, Jim Lambert via use-livecode > wrote: > >> Paul wrote: >> >> This is not a bug, but a feature. Our app

Re: mouseenter/mouseleave and pointer tool

This is not a bug, but a feature. Our app contains a specialized network drawing tool and we switch to the pointer tool to allow the user to interact with drawn objects (buttons and line graphics connecting the buttons). We use mouseEnter and mouseLeave to update information about the object

Re: mouseenter/mouseleave and pointer tool

I think if you are making a drawing app in Livecode, you need mouseEnter and mouseLeave with the pointer tool so you can have object scrips change the cursor icon to appropriate icons when over certain special objects that you want to interact with as objects. On 3/29/2021 6:31 AM, Klaus

Re: mouseenter/mouseleave and pointer tool

Klaus. I have always seen this. It does seem a little odd,, though. You can always place something like this wherever you need to, but I know your question is “Why do I need to” on mouseEnter if the tool = "browse tool" then pass mouseEnter end mouseEnter Craig > On Mar 29, 2021, at 6:31
