Mac OS 9.1 MetaCard 2.3 and up to the latest build of 4.2B2 I have a group object with custompropertySET "tbRowdata"
button a on mouseup set the customkeys[tbRowData] of grp "Table" to empty end mouseup button b on mouseup set the tbRowData["MyProperty "] of grp "table" to SomeRowData end mouseup Clicking button "a" and then button "b" works as expected. However, if you put this two lines of script under one button button c on mouseup set the customkeys[tbRowData] of grp "Table" to empty set the tbRowData["MyProperty"] of grp "table" to SomeRowData end mouseup The second line of script does not work and custompropertySET "tbRowdata" remains empty. I guess it could be explained as perfectly normal MC behavior and I know that I can use on mouseUp set the customPropertySet of grp "Table" to "tbRowData" set the customProperties of grp "Table" to empty -- set the customPropertySet of grp "Table" to empty set the tbRowData["MyProperty"] of grp "table" to SomeRowData end mouseUp but while I'm learning Associative arrays I sure wold like to learn why script in button "c" is not working as I expected it to work. Also, MC 2.4.2 introduced a very nice new feature "When the a field has a vertical grid, text is now truncated within a "cell" rather than being pushed off to the next tab stop location" However, if you will create a field with vertical grid and type following in button script on mouseUp set the tabstops of field 1 to "50,100,150" put "this is the test" & tab & "this is the test" into fld 1 set itemdel to tab set the textcolor of item 1 of fld 1 to red end mouseUp then the truncated part of "this is the test" will became visible. BTW till last moment I hoped that the final version of MC 2.4.2 will introduce three dots "�" instead of truncated text. But it is in gamma version already and no luck so far Best regards, Tariel Gogoberidze _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
