Hi Ken,
...
Damn, but this happens to me from time to time and I am NOT
dreaming ;-)
No you're right, Klaus, because it just happened to me. I traced it to
Wow, really? Cool, thanks alot :-)
the MetaCard Menu Bar that was inserted as a library. There are traps
there for returnInField and enterInField which checks a doClick()
function that checks for the defaultButton:
function doClick
switch
case word 1 of the name of the target is "button" and the style of
the target is not "menu" and not the autoArm of the target
click at the loc of the target
break
case the defaultButton of this card is not empty
click at the loc of the defaultButton of this card
break
default
return false
end switch
return true
end doClick
I also found out why it had previously not happened to me - for some
reason, in order for "the defaultbutton of this cd" to return a
non-empty value, the button that has its default property set to true
must be in a group (it doesn't have to have the backgroundBehaviour
turned on). I'm assuming that when you ran into this problem, your
default button was in a group, right?
No, just a field and a button NOT grouped, as in my recipe.
This is a bug, pure and simple. Now whether it's a *functional* bug
(i.e. "the defaultbutton of this cd" should return a value even if the
default button is not in a group as the docs state), or whether it's a
*documentation* bug (where they should explain that the button must be
in a group for it to register), is anyone's guess.
Personally I think it's a functional bug, but I would also like the
mctools changed so that it doesn't automatically trigger the button on
returnInField if the field is supposed to accommodate multiple
lines of
text (perhaps something related to whether the vScrollbar is shown, or
if not if the formattedHeight is less than the height of the field,
etc.).
Anyway, at least it's been found. Klaus do you want to do the honors
and log the bug? Or would you like me to do that?
Yes, please, I'm just too humble ;-)
