Re: [flexcoders] F2B3: useHandCursor property of Text control

[Michael Schmalle]

AH!!!

That was one other thing I was going to try!!!

mouseChildren.

I couldn't get why it would matter. That is what you get for trying to multi-task.

Rob, I gave it my best ;-)

Manish Jenathi blogged about this a while back, but I'm not seeing the blog entry anymore.

Anyway, the following works, and I believe is the recommended approach:

<mx:Text width="100%" text="hello"
     useHandCursor="true"
     buttonMode="true"
     mouseChildren="false"
          />

Per Manish's explanation (as best I remember), the component needs to know that it has no "mouseChildren" to listen for.

Hi Mike,
 
Thanks for looking into this. I tried your suggestion, but the cursor
still turns back into an arrow when it gets over the text field. My
code is below; if I did not correctly follow your suggestion, please
let me know where I went wrong:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" >
                                    
            <mx:Script>
                        <![CDATA[
            
            private function onInit(event:Event):void
            {
               txtItem.mx_internal::textField.mouseEnabled = false;
            }
 
            
                        ]]>
            </mx:Script>
            
            <mx:VBox
width="400" height="700" buttonMode="true" useHandCursor="true">
                        
                        <mx:Text id="txtItem" text="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. "  selectable="false"  />
                        
            </mx:VBox>
            
 
</mx:Application>

Hi,

1) the internal textfield has no useHandCursor property, this kills one hack.
2) Text control has no border, so there is nothing to hit when you set the component's useHandCursor to true.
3) The internal textfield is eating the event
4) wrap it with a VBOX or the like

This does work

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application 
    xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" 
    layout="vertical" 
    creationComplete="onInit(event)">
    
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            
            private function onInit(event:Event):void
            {
               txtItem.mx_internal::textField.mouseEnabled = false;
            }
            
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>

    <mx:VBox buttonMode="true" useHandCursor="true" >
        <mx:Text
id="txtItem" text="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. "
selectable="false" />
    </mx:VBox>
    
</mx:Application>


Adjust to what you need but, there is a hack here. 

Peace, Mike

I have the exact same problem, and do not have a solution.

If you put handCursor on a Box where you text resides, it does not work either.

 

Best,

JL

Subject: [flexcoders] F2B3: useHandCursor property of Text control

 

Per
the docs, the useHandCursor property is inherited from the Sprite
class. However, it doesn't seem to work on the Text control. When set
to "true", the mouse cursor remains an arrow instead of changing to a
button when over the text field:

<mx:Text
id="txtItem" text="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. "
buttonMode="true" selectable="false" useHandCursor="true" />

What am I missing?
