This would be a common UI behavior:
user passes his mouseover a list field and the lines "light up"
as he goes up and down.
This is a common "I am hot link" indicator.
but I'm not even getting to first base.
1) create list field
default entries
Choice 1
Choice 2
Choice 3
2) in script of fld:
on mousewithin
# from the docs for "mouseline"
set the backgroundcolor of the mouseline to "yellow"
end mousewithin
result:
I get a recursive error when putting my mouse into the field.
Error dialog keeps popping up even if you keep closing it...
until you click "ignore. I guess that's because mouse within
is continuously polling..and mouseMove would be better,
but
on mousemove
set the backgroundcolor of the mouseline to "yellow"
end mousemove
still throws an error
But, this works:
on mousemove
set the backgroundcolor of line 3 of fld 1 to "yellow"
end mousemove
I missing something basic... as that line is
right out of the docs...
Can someone post an example here? Obviously one has to
turn off the background color of the previous line while
moving to the next one...
A good candidate for an addition to the
scripts in "Getting Started --> Scripting the UI"
TIA
