Re: [flexcoders] F2B3: useHandCursor property of Text control
Hi,
1) the internal textfield has no useHandCursor property, this kills one hack.
2) Text control has no border, so there is nothing to hit when you set the component's useHandCursor to true.
3) The internal textfield is eating the event
4) wrap it with a VBOX or the like
This does work

Re: [flexcoders] F2B3: useHandCursor property of Text control
Title: Re: [flexcoders] F2B3: useHandCursor property of Text control
Manish Jenathi blogged about this a while back, but Im not seeing the blog entry anymore.
Anyway, the following works, and I believe is the recommended approach:
mx:Text width=100% text=hello
useHandCursor=true
buttonMode=true
mouseChildren=false
/
Per Manishs explanation (as best I remember), the component needs to know that it has no mouseChildren to listen for.

If you put handCursor on a Box where you text resides, it does not work
either.
Best,

Subject: [flexcoders] F2B3:
useHandCursor property of Text control
Per the docs, the useHandCursor property is inherited from the Sprite
class. However, it doesn't seem to work on the Text control. When set to
true, the mouse cursor remains an arrow instead of changing to a
button when over the text field:
mx:Text id=txtItem text=The quick brown fox jumps
over the lazy dog. buttonMode=true
selectable=false useHandCursor=true /
What am I missing?

Re: [flexcoders] F2B3: useHandCursor property of Text control
AH!!!
That was one other thing I was going to try!!!
mouseChildren.
I couldn't get why it would matter. That is what you get for trying to multi-task.
Rob, I gave it my best ;-)

Manish Jenathi blogged about this a while back, but I'm not seeing the blog entry anymore.
Anyway, the following works, and I believe is the recommended approach:
mx:Text width=100% text=hello
useHandCursor=true
buttonMode=true
mouseChildren=false
/
Per Manish's explanation (as best I remember), the component needs to know that it has no "mouseChildren" to listen for.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for looking into this. I tried your suggestion, but the cursor
still turns back into an arrow when it gets over the text field. My
code is below; if I did not correctly follow your suggestion, please
let me know where I went wrong:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function onInit(event:Event):void
{
txtItem.mx_internal::textField.mouseEnabled = false;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:VBox
width=400 height=700 buttonMode=true useHandCursor=true
mx:Text id=txtItem text=The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. selectable=false /
/mx:VBox
/mx:Application

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] F2B3: useHandCursor property of Text control
Hi,
1) the internal textfield has no useHandCursor property, this kills one hack.
2) Text control has no border, so there is nothing to hit when you set the component's useHandCursor to true.
3) The internal textfield is eating the event
4) wrap it with a VBOX or the like
This does work
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application
xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
layout=vertical
creationComplete=onInit(event)
mx:Script
![CDATA[
private function onInit(event:Event):void
{
txtItem.mx_internal::textField.mouseEnabled = false;
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:VBox buttonMode=true useHandCursor=true
mx:Text
id=txtItem text=The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
selectable=false /
/mx:VBox
/mx:Application
Adjust to what you need but, there is a hack here.
