How to create a single line entry field?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Tiemo,


1)

on enterInField
   -- do something
end enterInField

or

on returnInField
   -- do something
end enterInField


2)

Recently, I set the lof of an invisible stack to the screenloc and  
made it the active window before using the answer command. This was  
to set the loc of the answer windows to the screenloc on Windows.

You could also add a preOpenStack handler to the answer and ask  
dialog stack, which sets the loc of the stack to a property:

on preOpenStack
   -- existing part of script here if necessary
   set the loc of me to cCustomLoc
end preOpenStack

You can now set the loc before using the answer command:

on foo
   set the cCustomLoc of stack "Answer Dialog" to the screenLoc
   answer "Hello World"
end foo

You might want to search the mail list archives for more solutions. I  
know there are.

Best,

Mark
