I'm still not sure I understand you; wasn't your aim to let users type text included accented letters into a field? This was what I replied to, ie. how a user type the accented letters. -I have students in French, Italian, Spanish, German, Norwegian typing various accented letters into a field. A small instruction text available on demand on each screen explains how to type, and in my experience they learn it very quickly.Signe Thanks for replying. However, I'm a bit confused by your reply. Does this relate to a pallete of accents that I create myself:
Perhaps the misunderstanding relates to "accented letters" which I have interpreted as letters with accent aigu, umlaut etc. If you were thinking of other unusual letters such as � (c c�dille), � (o+e), the Scandinavian �, �, � etc. (I do not know if these letters come across in this posting since I'm on a Mac), the situation is different. In that case it is convenient to have the letters present on the screen, either in a specific field or as name/label of buttons. When a letter is chosen (clicked on), just let your scripting take care of inserting it after the last character of the field.
If you prefer a text field you put the following script into the field (which is locked):
on mouseUp
put the clickText after fld fieldname
end mouseUp
If you use buttons:
on mouseUp
put the short name of the target -- or: put the label of the target-- after fld fieldname
end mouseUp
If you want to make use of a palette, you can place the text or the buttons on it, but there is no need for a palette. I usually have a button on a screen labeled "How to type" or similar. When clicked, a field appears with the appropriate help.
