@ Ralf Bitter Dear Ralf, I downloaded your segmented control from: https://github.com/revig/universal-button-widget/releases/tag/1.0.1 and I installed the widget using the Extension Manager in the IDE. It looks very nice. Exactly what allows control and even change the behavior. First time

When I was about 18 I was driving tractors on a farm: really old-fashioned things with about 3 gears. Later, in the United States, I learnt to drive a car; out car was a Ford Tempo with 5 gears and a reverse. However, when I went to take the test the officers there would not let me use our

Bernd thanks, at some point I just wanted to do away with the shortcomings of the segmented control. Though modifying the segmented control might have been a better approach. Ralf On 04.12.20 10:32, Niggemann, Bernd via use-livecode wrote: Ralf Bitter wrote

Hi Roland, I added a custom property "multipleHighlights" to the widgets group (segmented control) of the demo stack and modified the behavior script, so that the functionality is on par with the segmented control widget. See: https://github.com/revig/universal-button-widget/releases/tag/1.0.1

@ Richmond Richmond, to be honest, I am quite ignorant about developing widgets. I never took the time to dig deep into them. It is certainly my fault. So, I cannot say whether or not it is hard work and how much work. But from a user (developer) perspective, I think we can freely formulate our

Yes, it is a nice widget. But, because it is a widget it has several quite obvious and annoying limitations when compared with making your own thing using the 'old fashioned' objects in LiveCode. At this point things come to some hard choices: 1. Do you want a quick-and-easy,

Hi Roland, I have a LCB widget I used as a replacement for the segmented control. My "segmented control" actually consists of a group of button widgets, but it seems it comes close to what you are looking for. See: https://github.com/revig/universal-button-widget Ralf On 30.11.20 12:05,

Brian and Ralph, Thanks. I gave up because there are easier, more obvious ways to do what I want. Several posts have mentioned shortcomings in the segmented control widget and I think if it would respond to mousedown and mouseup messages, it would be easier to use in more situations, as well.

The widget isn’t impacted by lock messages. I have used it in the past to switch cards and just checked for the current card to avoid the loop. That doesn’t sound like it would work here. You could use a script local flag though. Set sNoAction to true before changing the hilight; in your
