Hi Tiemo,
On a Mac, the option button list is shown at the full width of the text
it contains.
I haven't tried it on other platforms. If it doesn't work that way on
your platform, you could do something like this (in the button script):
local sOriginalRect
on menuPick pItemName
restoreMe
answer pItemName
end menuPick
on mouseDown
if sOriginalRect is empty then put the rect of me into sOriginalRect
put sOriginalRect into tRect
put (item 1 of tRect + the formattedWidth of me) into item 3 of tRect
set the rect of me to tRect
end mouseDown
on mouseLeave
restoreMe
end mouseLeave
command restoreMe
lock screen
set the rect of me to sOriginalRect
unlock screen
end restoreMe
Hope this helps -

Hello,
I have an option button with long text lines as options, but the button
itself is smaller (width) as the text lines (because of layout
restrictions), so that you can't read the full text of the options.
Now I would like to find any solution to show the user the full content of
the text lines before he clicks any choice. Either by hovering or right
click or anything else I would like to put the line into the tooltip or
anything else. By now I failed to grab the hilitedLine of the option menu.
Any idea how to access the text by hovering or right click?
Thanks
Tiemo
