I must be getting senile... I thought I mentioned color in my post...
<much scrolling follows>
Ah yes, there it is! Guess I'm not senile after all :)
Another interesting thing to try out: with fileXtra you can call the
DirectoryToList function, to get a list of all the files in a specified
directory, and then use that list for the #range property. You'll get a
popup list of all the files in your directory (folder for Mac users ;p).
Great for stuff like "go movie pMovie" or sound playFile 1, pSound", or
whatever.
(You can try experimenting with the more complex FileOpenDialog feature, to
get a standard OS open file dialogue, but I found the other one more then
enough for my purpose).
Oh yes, almost forgot! I experimented with D8's new handlers() feature
yesterday, and what you can do is this:
global goManager
property puAction
on mouseUp me
call(puAction, goManager)
end
on getPropertyDescriptionList me
gpdl = [:]
gpdl[#puAction] = [#comment: "Database Action", #format: #symbol,
#default: #newRecord, #range: script("Database Manager").handlers()]
return gpdl
end
The handlers function will give you a list of all the handlers in the
specified script.
In my case, I have a general manager object (parent script), and I have a
few buttons that when clicked call a specific handler in the object. Instead
of manually writing all of them in, I have a dynamically self-updating popup
list :) :) :)
