I have the following code which emulate double clicking into an
unlocked field and thus selection the chunk under the clicked mouse:
set the locktext of me to false
click at the mouseloc
click at the mouseloc
--- the above should emulate the mouse click and select whatever under it.
but it does nor work even in plain English text . Could you look at this
I think this should not difficult to debug??
get the selection
set the locktext of me to true
do smething with it
The idea of unlocking a field , selecting text and locking it is to
avoid problems caused by the is the way the Revolution engine is
storing the internal string representation and how this is displayed
by the OS.
Whatever it is,the above scripting for twice clicking should (but
does does not ) emulate double clicking into open field . any reason
why ?
BTW
We are ( at the University of London) looking to contract a skilled
programmer ( naturally in Rev. & H.C.) to help us to convert our
HyperCrad stacks (Arabic, Hebrew and the rest of the Unicode stuff)
to rev. If anybody living in ore near London with something to show
for her/his skills and interested in further details , please
contact me or leave a message on my voice mail below.
Many thanks
