Re: Change to the label property in 6.7

No reminder necessary and one of the reasons I look at dp releases is exactly what you said, to find things that aren't compatible with my code and probably other peoples' code too. And yes, it bothers me but that's not a reason to not test things. I'm simply stating my opinion about a change that

They dropped support for OSX versions earlier than 10.5.8 but I'm on 10.7.4. Pete lcSQL Software Home of lcStackBrowser and SQLiteAdmin On Sat, Mar 29, 2014 at 4:33 PM, Earthednet-wp wrote:

Nope. Support for 10.5 Leopard is dropped. 10.7 Lion is still good. On Mar 29, 2014, at 4:33 PM, Earthednet-wp wrote: > Didn't the release notes say it wouldn't run on lion anymore? > Bill > > William Prothero > http://es.earthednet.org > >> On Mar 29, 2014, at 12:36 PM, Peter Haworth wrote:

Re: Change to the label property in 6.7

Just ran some tests on this on Windows 8. It seems to work as advertised. However I think what happens to the menuHistroy when you set the label to a non existent value is incorrect. In that circumstance, the menuHistory is unchanged which is inconsistant with what happens if you set the menuHis

Re: Change to the label property in 6.7

Thanks Paul. I'm a little concerned about what happens in your mouseUp handler if I'm understanding it correctly. If "Test" doesn't exist in the button, I would have expected the menuHistory to be zero or empty or something to indicate that the label doesn't exist in the text of the button. Also

Pete, It looks like this is OK as far as I can see. I just ran a quick test: 1 x Option Menu (Default settings) Script: on menuPick put the menuHistory of me into fld 3 end menuPick 1 x Button "Test" Script: on mouseDown put the menuHistory of

Change to the label property in 6.7

I've been looking into my stacks to see how they will be affected by the change to the way the label property of an option menu works in 6.7. As long as it will still be possible to set the label of an option menu to a value that is not in its text, all should be well. Unfortunately, I can't even
