Using v17, Mac I have an enterable field on a form. The user can right-click on it and select an action such as "Select a picture" from a dynamic popup menu.
The code that runs: tEditText:="" *PicturePathSelect* (->tEditText) // choose a pic, copy pathname to tEditText *SET TEXT TO PASTEBOARD*(tEditText) *INVOKE ACTION*(ak clear) *INVOKE ACTION*(ak paste) If I put a trace on the last line of this code and then step through that line, then press F5, it works as expected: the picture pathname is copied into the selected field. If I don't trace through it, this simply does not work. The field is no longer the active object and the text hasn't been copied into it. I also tried *POST KEY*(*Character code*("v");Command key mask;tEditText) instead of *INVOKE ACTION*(ak paste) but that doesn't work either. Is there something else I need to do to get this to work?
