Hi Mike,

 

I think Tom's explanation does it for me and may help you as well.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

All the best


Steve

Subject: Re: Beginner question on Immediate Mode

 

Hello Steve,

My understanding is that
whilst Window is indeed a property of Mouse object,
Mouse.Window will return an object which, in turn, has properties.
I do not think that
print Mouse.Window
will print out the text of the mouse window.

The Window object does have a clips method which returns a clips object
object which has a clipstext property which holds all the clips text for the
Window.
I may be missing something but I hope this helps a little.

All the best,,

Mike.

Hi guys and gals?
 
I read with interest that in Immediate Mode, you can for example, print out
the mouse window as a variable.  I checked the reference guide and Mouse is
an object, and Window is a property.
 
So I opened a program, interested in what I would get, Outlook 2007 as my
example and loaded my inbox.
 
I then hit the Control-Shift-Q window to bring up Immediate Mode, and
typed:-
 
Print mouse.window
 
I get the error:-
 
Error object does not support this property or method.
 
So where am I going wrong?
 
This is not important to any project, it is just experimentation and I want
to understand what's happening here.  I would have thought the mouse object
would hold the window property and give me some result, whether it is
numeric or a string, but looks like the window property isn't supported.
 
Interestingly, this example is also referenced in the Immediate Mode help.
 
Any thoughts please?
 
Thanks.
 
All the best
 
Steve
