Since you need to start a process that sets up the selection process, why not set a custom property as well? You would modify the button scripts so that they only proceed if the correct value of that property is read.
In that way, the new button handlers would check the property at the outset, and exit if they found it was not allowed. You need to reset somehow, of course. I think this is better than requiring odd click combinations.

I am trying to script a handler guiding (through Answer dialogue) user of standalone to select first one arbitrary existing button, to put its ID in a variable and (new answer-dialogue) then another existing button, to collect its Id into another variable, - for(new answer-dialogue) connecting them with a line/ or erase line between them. As these buttons are already scripted, and mouseups to them must be avoided, I hope that Alt clicking them might be a way to have them selected enough to get their IDs. But I cannot find my way to make it work. I have thought that there might be a way perhaps through a "Wait until condition", but don't know how to formulate such script. I am also uncertain: Is the use of the ALT-click a realistic strategy to get hold of the button-IDs? I cannot imagine that something like this should be impossible in livecode Happy New Year From Kresten Bjerg _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
