Here's a great trick for MC...
Only do this if you know what you're doing...
make a backup of MCTools stack before proceeding...
Open the Properties stack as a normal stack
Edit the stack script
Remove the comment before line 2 of script "on refresh"
(it will disable the stack - try it without... or you can add a "if mode of
this stack is 1 then exit refresh")
Go to the group properties card (you can use the navigator), copy the script
of the Edit button.
you can close the properties stack.
Open the "MC selected object menu" stack (it's the right button menu. Resize
it (nice little challenge!)
Add a new button called "Edit" with the script you copied from the
properties stack.
close the stack - save if asked.
show the Message box, and type in it:
save stack mctools
now, if you go in editing mode, and right click on a group, you can just
easily edit the group... It will save you mouse a lot of running around the
screen!
BUT, here're ma questions:
- Where is the script that calls the "refresh" handler in the properties
stack?
- How do you edit a group in a group... It don't want to work... But it does
from another palette stack even though it's the same script! Try to edit a
group in the Properties menu..., try to edit a script... you always jump out
of the group's edit...
AND, last bonus: if you didn't think of it already, try adding a group,
ungroup, Color and Font Menu to that handy menu stack!
Im not giving you the stacks yet because I'd like the answer to those
questions if possible!
MetaCheers,
Xavier
