Well, you can track all of that info within the program, and output it at
whatever intervals you like, in whatever form you like. Somebody might
suggest a way to do it with globals, but I would make an object that tracks
each button click and stores it. So, in your button behaviors, where the
property pMyButton is the button in question (you can set that however you
prefer, through a gpl, or a custom method):
-------------------------
global gButtonTracker
property pMyButton
on mouseUp me
gButtonTracker.mAddClick(pMyButton)
--whatever else this button does
end
-------------------------
gButtonTracker object:
-------------------------
property pClickedList
on new me
pClickedList = [:]
return me
end
on mAddClick me, whichButton
if voidP(pClickedList.getAProp(whichButton)) then
pClickedList.addProp(whichButton, 1)
else
pClickedList[whichButton] = pClickedList[whichButton] + 1
end if
end
on mGetClicks me, whichButton
return pClickedList[whichButton]
end
-------------------------
That will keep track of all clicks through the life of the program. As for
output, you could get it at will, or have it write a log, or even print,
since you have a closed network environment.
If you want a descriptive string of all clicks, add this to the above:
-------------------------
on mGetReport me
tempstring = ""
repeat with i = 1 to pClickedList.count()
tempstring = tempstring & pClickedList.getPropAt(i)\
& ":" && pClickedList[i] & Return & Return
end repeat
return tempstring
end
-------------------------
Whatever your output is, you just call the mGetReport method from the master
object. However the data is "saved", the calculations are removed from the
"save" operation. howeverYouNameTheObject.mGetReport() will return a string
that you could print, save, or email.
