Hi All,
Today's mystery is one I've been watching for some time, assuming sooner or later an answer would come to me. It hasn't; so I'm asking for help:
What hidden property of a button can cause it not to display its hilite color &/or reverse its border colors when the handler it calls instructs "set the hilite of the target to true"?
I have a series of buttons that all appear (via the properties palette) to be set up identically; yet some buttons don't display their hilite color, and a few don't even reverse the border colors.
Button specifics for all buttons --
* Style = rectangle
* Opaque = true
* Ions : "regular", armed, & disabled
* Can receive focus = true
* Arm on mouseEnter = true
* Background & hilite colors are set
* 3D = true
* Show border = true
* Show focus border = true
Button script format:
on mouseEnter
buttonEnter [helpFieldName]
end mouseEnter
Handler that "fails":
on buttonEnter helpField
global inFocus
if inFocus then exit buttonEnter
lock screen
set the hilite of the target to true -- COLORS DON'T CHANGE & BORDERS DON'T REVERSE ON SOME BUTTONS
showHelpField helpField
unlock screen
end buttonEnter
local lastHelpId
on hideHelpField
if lastHelpId is not empty then
hide field id lastHelpId
put empty into lastHelpId
else put empty into field "Help"
end hideHelpField
on showHelpField theField
hideHelpField
show field theField
put the id of field theField into lastHelpId
end showHelpField
A great future add-on to Revolution would be functionality to have the Dev UI compare ALL properties of two controls of a similar type and return a list of properties that are set differently.
In the meantime, I hope someone can make it unnecessary for me to have to compare all properties manually. :{`)
PS: The buttons were created by RunRev when it converted my HyperTalk version of OenoLog to a Revolution stack, in case that makes a difference.
