Re: Insertion point problems

One more try on the second part of my original post. In LC 7.01, Mac Yosemite, I find that the insertion point blinks once when placed by clicking or typing, then disappears. It will also blink once in its most recent position if I click the title bar, but again it disappears. Also, if I type

Re: Insertion point problems

Thanks to Bernd for the simplest solution to my practical problem. If we "go to" Stack A "the selectedChunk" will mean "the selectedChunk in stack A". But, as he notes, preservation of the prior selection depends on certain conditions (more on this below). One anomaly is that "the selecte

Re: Insertion point problems

I don't think traversal is the problem here. When I tested, my button did not have traversalOn set to true (that was the first thing I checked.) The anomaly is that the selectedChunk works fine if the selection contains text, it only fails if the selection is a simple insertion point. Both ins

Re: Insertion point problems

Yes, the traversalOn property is the key here. Only one object can have focus at any given time, so when traversing among controls with the keyboard any field selection will be cleared. But by turning off the traversalOn property for buttons you want to be able to act on text, the focus remai

Re: Insertion point problems

What I do for this is store the selectedchunk in a customprop or a script local on mouseEnter in the button script that will be doing the pasting. That way if the mousedown removes the current selection you already have the info you need. BTW, if you set the traversalon to false for the button, the

Re: Insertion point problems

On a Mac, I opened two stacks, one with a button, one with a field. I palletized the first stack, then set the insertion point in the field in the second one. Clicking the button in the palletized stack still causes the field on the second stack to lose focus. I don’t think there is a way to c

Thanks to Craig Newman and Bob Sneidar.  Unless I have misunderstood them, which is possible, I think I have not clearly enough explained my problem.    I want a menu button in a palette to paste the clipboard's contents to the topStack at the selectedChunk.  This works if the selectedChunk act
