Re: Delete Confirmation Library

2023-11-16 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode
 The real fix for this would be to have the engine pass the long id of 
the object with the message, so I could use: 

on deleteButton pObjectID
   …
end deleteButton

However I am reticent to create yet another enhancement request. :-)

Delete Confirmation Library

2023-11-16 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode
Hi all. 

I’m working on a delete confirmation library. In the following script however, 
getting the short name of the selectedObject fails silently even if the script 
only stack is inserted into the front. In the message box the same line of code 
works. 

on deleteButton
   beep
   put the short name of the selectedObject into tObjectName
   answer warning \
 "Are you sure you want to delete button ‘“ & tObjectName & "'?" \
 with "Delete" or "Cancel" \
 as sheet
   if it is "Cancel" then send "undo" to this card in 5 milliseconds
end deleteButton

Any idea why?

Bob S

I’ve run into that myself. An, “Are you sure?” Dialog would be helpful when an 
object is deleted. I suppose that can be scripted too.
