Re: Errant mouseRelease message?

2018-10-15 Thread Geoff Canyon via use-livecode
To be clear: it's been at least five versions of LC since I last tried the built-in drag and drop messages. The only thing stopping me from giving them another try now is how much effort I spent trying to fit them to Navigator's unusual circumstances back in the day. It's possible they'd work for N

Showing four options in a menu?

2018-10-15 Thread Geoff Canyon via use-livecode
For displaying a simple binary choice in a menu, a !c checkmark works well. But in Navigator's property menu, there are four possibilities: 1. the property is not boolean -- display nothing with the menu. 2. the property is boolean and is true for all the selected controls -- display a !c check. 3

I gave up using dragMove many years ago after finding that I couldn't make it work with setting the selection of Navigator's list. There were too many special cases that were either difficult or impossible, and it was so long ago I don't remember what they all were. I happened on someone's (Scott R

Errant mouseRelease message?

2018-10-15 Thread Geoff Canyon via use-livecode
The drag and drop code in Navigator relies on mouseMove messages to do its work, and since drags can exit the field where they started, mouseRelease messages to stop. When I first coded this, I sometimes got errant mouseRelease messages -- the mouse was still down, a check of "the mouse" in the mo
