Focus, Text and foundChunk

[Richmond Mathewson]

Thank you Ken Ray:

"Change your code to:

on mouseUp
  find "eating" in fld "F1"
  if the foundChunk is not empty then
    select the foundChunk
  end if
end mouseUp

and you won't have any problems... "

I followed your advice, and being the awkward ***** I
am I had a 'problem':

what I wanted was a selected word without the 'box'
round it,
to achieve this I went:

on mouseUp
  -- thanks to Ken Ray--
  find "eating" in fld "F1"
  if the foundChunk  is not empty then
    select the foundChunk
  end if
  find empty
end mouseUp

the "find empty" clearing away the box, leaving the
word selected!

I have uploaded a new version of my stack to the usual
places:

 http://members.maclaunch.com/richmond/Text
Focus.rev.zip

and

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/richmondsrrr/

have also popped in 2 buttons:

1. to just "FIND" the text - i.e. 'box' without
selection

2. to "un-FIND" the text - i.e. remove the 'box'

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
