Umm . ..
so I have a field [called fld "TEKST"]full of text and I select some
of it with my mouse
I then click on a button that contains the following script:
on mouseUp
copy the selected of fld "TEKST"
end mouseUp
nix!
now, I've tried "the selectedText" and "the selectedChunk" to no
avail . . .
Please advise
First, the traversalon of the button must be false or the selection in
the field will be wiped out by the mouseclick before it can to used.
With this in place, if you just use:
on mouseUp
copy
end mouseUp
if should work. An alternative is to put this in the button script:
It DOES: Thank you so much; you have really given me a "Clint Eastwood
moment" [= made my day]
