Re: force exit of mouseDown?

If I've got what you're trying to do right then I'd try the following approach 1. set two script locals on mouseDown - the first that the mouse is down (pDown) and the second the starting mouseLoc (pLoc) 2. in a mouseMove hander, check if pDown is true and if it is then show a 'selection' graphic

Actually, I'm not sure working with mouseDown is what'll help with what I'm after. Say there's a grid of grouped objects thus: A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. and underneath that grid is a graphic "gcBkgnd" which is opaque and a few pixels larger than the grid. The effect I've s

That's how I've done it when I've used icons… but, to see it work, just add any icon from the choices that come with LiveCode…. then you can see if it really does what you want. Add an icon and hiliteticon to each button. be well, randy - On Jun 23, 2011, at 5:37 PM, Pete wrote: > Interest

Thanks guys. I had thought of using a separate label but wanted to check there wasn't a built-in way to do it before going down that path. I am facing the same issue with group labels as well and will probably solve it the same way. In case you're wondering, I'm building a tools palette to allow

The "create group" command does return the id of the new group in "it" but the group command doesn't. I'm reminded of a thread I kicked off a few months ago concerning the fact that "last group" doesn't always return the group created with a group command. The dictionary recommends using "last gr
