Can't Select

[DunbarX at aol.com]

I meant cantSelect. Wonderful property if you need it, and I do.

But the docs say, and more importantly fully imply, that when the pointer 
tool is active, an object with its "cantSelect" property set to "true" sees 
the pointer as a browse tool.

It sort of does, but not mostly. I sent the following as a note to the 
dictionary under "cantSelect":

With cantSelect set to "true",   clicking an object with the pointer tool 
invokes certain actions, but most messages are not sent. For example, 
"mouseUp" is not sent, though "mouseEnter" is. So, for example, in a list field 
with its cantSelect set to "true", it is possible to hilite a line by clicking 
on it, but not possible to trap, say, a "mouseDown" event.

The message "cRevUpdate" is always sent.
