thank you, also tried that, but then the pathname does not appear in the field.
I want to:
Drag'n'Drop a file into the field -> works without scripting
The pathname appears in the field and is definitively selected!
However "the selectedtext of fld xyz" is reported to be empty
so is "the selection" and "the selectedchunk" returns the insertion point
right BEFORE the file has been dropped -> char 75 to 74 of fld xyz
I want to get that pathname from inside of the field = AFTER the file has been
dropped.
It sounds like a bug that should be reported. If there is text in a field
(regardless of how it go there (paste, drag drop, typing, or by script) and it
is selected, the the selection, selectedChunk,a dn all related properties
should be set. If the text as placed in a field by any means other than script
(paste, typing, drag drop) a textChanged message should be sent. I don't think
textChanged is sent if a script changes the text.
YEAH, TEXTCHANGED is what I should use!
This does what I need:
----------------------------------
command doit
put the selectedtext of me
end doit
on textChanged
send "doit" to me in 10
end textChanged
------------------------------------
Thank you very much! :-)
However "selectionchanged" should also be triggered, not?
If there was not a selection in the field and now there is a visible
selection (as you described) then, yes, a selectionChanged message and,
to me, more importantly, functions like:
However "the selectedtext of fld xyz" is reported to be empty
so is "the selection" and "the selectedchunk" returns the insertion point
right BEFORE the file has been dropped -> char 75 to 74 of fld xyz
Should reflect the visible selection. If this is not the case, this
should be reported as a bug - one that I would CC myself on since it
could impact my apps.
