A word to the wise (mostly for IDE and extension developers): this will successfully compile:
send "test" to button 1 with "ha" And then if the IDE is swallowing up your error messages (as it does for extensions like Navigator) it will even deliver the message "test" to button 1, just without any arguments, and then die silently. Outside of "rev" stacks, it will deliver the message without arguments and then throw an error saying there is no handler "with". I just checked, and amazingly this will work: on mouseUp send "test" to button 1 with "ha" end mouseUp on with answer "WTH?" end with But that's obviously unlikely. Far more likely if you're dealing with code you wrote before you became aware of "dispatch" (or maybe before "dispatch" was a thing -- I think Navigator predates LC 3.5) is that you decide to add an argument to a remote call and don't notice that it's a "send" rather than a "dispatch", and then spend half an hour trying to figure out why your arguments aren't passing through <grumble>. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
