I'm not sure I'm following this. By 'link text' do you mean text with
link style or the linkText property of a chunk of text? What do you
mean by placing it 'lower than the mouseloc'?
I set it up in task mage so that you can display the link, then
either click
the link, or move the mouse down and highlight the displayed
linktext in
order to copy it.
All I really need to do is display the linkText so the user knows
where the mouseClick will take them.
I actually modified my handler to add an interrupt at the beginning:
on mouseWithin
if the mouse is down then exit mouseWithin ## interrupt this
handler to pay attention to the mouse.
if the textStyle of the mouseText contains "link" then
put the linkText of the mouseText into fld "status"
else
put empty into fld "status"
end if
end mouseWithin
It seems to be working reliably now. Anybody know of any reason why
this approach might be a bad idea? Sort of like how we've been
encouraged not to use things like 'wait until the mouseClick'?
