Jacqueline, I tried this, but to no avail: >have you tried seting the defaultstack to the one >with the selection? Robert, I did have something like this in mind as my workaround. I managed to save the selectedChunk, field and stacks into the other stack, and then use these to reconstruct the s

Thanks for the suggestion. It was a "mouseUp" handler, so I changed it to "mouseDown" but it didn't make any difference. I think the issue is actually to do with moving from stack to stack: the selectedChunk only refers to the character numbers in a (numbered) field. There is no reference to a

I'm still trying to solve the problem of passing the field reference of the insertion point to my palette so that I can insert the label of a palette button into the field. (All the buttons and groups of the palette have "traversal on is false"). I still don't understand why the selectedChunk belo

Thanks for the pointers Ken and Jeanne. Here's what I've found. If there is actually some selected text in the field with the insertion point, then the label of the button can be inserted after the text (using "after the selectedChunk"). However, if I intercept the processing of the handler in t

Thanks for jumping in Jeanne. You're right that the objects referenced on Stack B are buttons. I've "set the traversalOn of the templateButton to false" prior to the creation of the buttons, but still when I have the insertion point in Stack T and click on a button, the "onMouseup" of the button

Passing selectedField Location between Stacks

2002-12-06 Thread Bernard Devlin
I have two stacks. Stack T contains text fields, and Stack B contains buttons. Whilst typing in Stack T, if the user requires input from Stack B I want the user to be able to just click on an item in Stack B, and have the text associated with the clicked button inserted at the place in the field
