Hi Jaqueline, Andre and Klaus
Thanks to your hint to see Richards article, I found such a large source of Revolutional knowledge, That I use a lot of time to read through all that stuff.
I understood that back and front indicate the place in the hierarchy and that messagepath is synonym for the hierarchy. I understood that "start using" only works with a script from the stack.
Your suggestion to use "set the script of fld "content" to the script of btn "wijzigen"
was the first statement I tried. I put it as last statment into a handler, but got
the errormessage that a script cannot be altered while running.
Then I tried "send foo", foo being a handler in de stackscript. Same errormessage,
because what I need is not to execute handler "foo", but to replace the script of a field.
Example.
1.
The listfield is an index. Clicking a line opens a card:
on mouseup;get selectedtext;go card it
2.
A button is pressed to get a new script into that field.
Now that field may delete a card.
Or a button is pressed to get a new script into that field.
Now that field may change the content of a card.
3.
Here comes the problem:
The main task of the listfield is being an index to go to a card.
So I need a statement on the end of each script to reset the script
of that listfield to "on mouseup;get selectedtext;go card it".
This is easily done in Toolbook, but I can't find it in Transscript.
Well, now I am going to study your advises. Thanks Jaqueline, Andre and Kaus Rob

Andre, I cannot find the right syntax. 'Start using' did not match. I am looking for something like: "insert script of button "wijzigen" into script of field "content"" but here I get an errormessage "missing script" ?????????????????????????? Thanks for your help Rob
Rob,
quoting Richards reply: "you can use the "insert script" command to put a script of any object into the message path for use by any other object, and you can use "start using" to make something roughly equivalent to TB's sysbooks.
For notes on these and more see: <http://www.fourthworld.com/embassy/articles/ revolution_message_path.html>"
start using will add a script of a stack to the message path, but not the script of a button. You can add the script of a button as a backscript or a frontscript but I don't think that's what you're looking for.
Ron, I don't know the behaviour you want to achive. If you want just to share scripts between controls, check revolution "groups", if you want to make a script as library, put it inside a stack and use "start using stack "myStack"" to use the stack as lib. But if this script is pre-coded, why not putting it inside the field content anyway? For example, I have here some small reusable scripts that I use all the time but they are too small to deserve a library, so I created a little palette that will check the selected object in Rev IDE and insert that script on the object. I can go adding scripts to this pallete... this servers me fine for it does not alter the message path in anyway...
if you want to change the script of a button at runtime (or at interactive time), then I think you can set the script property of the button, but we need help from the experts on this topic, I don't know what happens if you use:
set the script of fld "content" to the script of btn "wijzigen"
but it might work, give it a try!
:D
