I am in v. 8.1.9 and do not see this in either locked or unlocked fields. I
made three, clicked on a line in each, which hilited correctly, and then
both tabbed and clicked all morning through them. Each hilited line stuck
unless I changed it.

Instead of locking messages, can you not include a hilitedChanged handler
that will trap and bury the message? Not sure where the best place for that
would be.

Hi.
The "screenMouseLoc" is a property, but the "mouseLoc" is a function.You
cannot set a function.
Why this was wrought this way is anybody's guess. I recommend that you make
a library gadget that automatically takes the open LC window properties and
does the math. Then your "newMouseLoc" proper
Hi.
Maybe I am not building this correctly. I made a new stack of five cards. I
placed a BG group on card 3. It has ID 1005.
On card 1 in a button script:
on mouseUp
put the long id of background ID 1005 of this stack into fld 2
end mouseUp
In new sessions, whether I visit card 3 or not, I a
maybe I did not answer your question correctly.
You can conveniently:
set the rawText of btn "XYZ" to the clipBoardData

Hi.
When you change an ordinary property, you set it to a new value:
set the width of btn 3 to 50.
A custom property is "filled" in the same way:
set the rawText of me to chapterOneOfDonQuixote
Custom properties are created just like variables; you just do it. Try this.
make a new button named
"I already have that."
Hmmm. Then what is it that you are asking?

Hi.
This is fun to do. Make two fields. In the target field, the one you will
type into, set a custom property "rawText" to some long list of words,
perhaps chapter 1 of your favorite novel. It is a good idea to strip all
punctation from that text before setting the prop.
In that field, place thi
Hi.
If I were you, with the task you laid out, I would not use an option menu.
It is not good with wide menuItems, and it is not natural, if even possible,
to select multiple lines in the way you want.
Use a list field instead. A field has many properties that are denied an
optionMenu, which is r
I think this is expected behavior.
If you have a group of three buttons:
1- disable one of them
2- disable the group
3 enable the group
You do get all three buttons enabled. But the thinking is likely along the
lines of: "That guy enabled the group, right? That means enable the group,
which inc
Does it make it more palatable to think about it the other way around? There
should be no real difference:
You have a group where one button is already enabled, and one already
disabled.
By disabling the group, should the enabled button stay enabled?

i would say this is expected behavior.
If you disable a control in a group, and then enable the group, LC assumes
you want to, er, enable the group, and that means all members of that group.
So as you mentioned, make a gadget that stores the states of all the
members, and resets when the group is

There must be something different in our setups. All I did was write a
rawkeyUp handler to return the value of my mouse's right-click. Either you
get a different value with that action, or something in your machine is
intercepting that "message" before LC does.
