Re: The default button
Interesting. I think what I will do then is spend time setting all the buttons default to false, then managing which buttons have the default on. The only reason it helps me (I don't ever use standard buttons, but always attach a graphic for an icon) is that I have 3 modes each data form can have: View, Edit, New. This is so that I can control what the user can and cannot do at different states. I set the default of the save button in edit/new, but in view mode the default is the Edit button.

For the reasons you mentioned and more. On OSX having more than one default button will use up huge amounts of cpu power even while doing nothing more than sitting around and looking good. PowerTools will warn you if you try to add more than one default button, but once you've been warned won't prevent it, because by that point you obviously mean to do what you're about to do. -- Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
