Hi All,
I am trying to write some generic code to send "Increment" events to
another object. This works ok:
send "Increment 1" to graphic the cPropTargetObjectName of me
however to make it more general I would like to be able to have the
type soft coded, to be able to write
put "graphic" into myType
send "Increment 1" to myType the cPropTargetObjectName of me
So I looked around and found the "do" command, and did this:
put "graphic" into myType
put "send Increment 1" && myType && the cPropTargetObjectName of me
into myDoText
do myDoText
But this results in the following error:
Object: value is not a boolean
Object: Arrows
Line: do myDoText
Hint: 1
I have checked the text in myDoText and it's fine and reads:
send Increment 1 to graphic "G-1027"
I don't understand why I am getting this error? Any ideas anyone?
Also how can I get the type of an object? Is there a property for it?
I can't seem to find one!
Thanks in advance
Dave
