Default Button

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Mark.


Try this:


Create a new stack, drag an editable field and a defaultButton over.


Put this in the button script:



on mouseUp
   beep 3
end mouseUp



Press return, get three beeps. Now place a cursor in the field. Hit return, no beeps, as is proper.
Now click anywhere in the card area, deselecting the field. Hit return. No beeps
Now click the button. Three beeps.
Now hit return. Three beeps


Are there two levels of "no active control"?


AHA.


Just tried this all over again, and no beeps of any kind at all, no matter what I do, unless, of course, I click the actual button itself.

Hi,

This is what I just did:

1) create new stack
2) drag one default button from the tools palette into your stack
3) edit the script of the button to make it been on mouseUp (and nothing else)
4) compile and close script
5) press return
6) hear beep
