Re: Can I find out what handler I am in?

[Alain Vezina via use-livecode]

I use to indicate where I am by answering something like "I'm entering in 
handler XYZ", "I exit handler XYZ"

Sometime I use answering to know what is in a special Variable, an so on.

I's simple, but it woks, especially when I use several handlers.

Re: Can I find out what handler I am in?

[Tom Glod via use-livecode]

its mostly for try routines so i'm using it like it

try
something 
catch TheError
LogError TheError
end try

in LogError handler is where i read the correct line and item in the
executioncontexts.

So Tom, do you need

return item 2 of line -2 of the executioncontexts

to be in every possible handler?

I'm curious: what are you doing that needs this?



Not Tom, but...

I do this all the time when I need to print a debugging message to the 
messagebox. Sometimes handlers abort before getting to important 
statements and by placing these statements at various points I can tell 
whether or not a handler got triggered.


put param(0) & cr after msg

That actually came up in litigation over the patent for the shaving cream can.

The challenger claimed that it was too obvious, and not patentable.

The judge ruled to the effect of, “It was only obvious *after* you saw it.  
That you spent $7M in your own unsuccessful attempt to make such a thing shows 
that it is not obvious!”

Re: Can I find out what handler I am in?

[Phil Davis via use-livecode]

Tom, param(0) contains the name of the handler you're in.

on mouseUp
   put param(0)
end mouseUp

Would put into the message box:
    mouseUp
