Bonjour Mark,
An Edit menu, if you want to stay compliant with all platforms
guidelines, should always show the 'Cut, Copy, Paste' trilogy as a
minimum.
Of course, you can disable the menu items you don't want the user to
use but they *must* be there with their usual shortcuts :-)
So in your case, just build the menu on-the-fly at mouseDown and
disable the Copy item according to the value of the selectedChunk:
It's always something like char 4 to 3 of field 1 (insertion point is
placed after char 3 but there is no text selection), char 4 to 4 of
field 1 (char 4 is selected), char 1 to 4 of field 1 (char 1 to 4 is
selected)...
on mouseDown pButton
local tMenu
-----
if pButton = 3 then
if the selectedField = empty or target = empty then exit mouseDown
if the short name of the selectedField = the short name of the
target then
-- it's the right field
put "(Cut/X,Copy/C,(Paste/V,-,Select All/A" into tMenu
-- easier to build the menu using commas
replace comma with cr in tMenu
-- cut and paste are always disabled
if word 4 of the selectedChunk < word 2 of the selectedChunk then
put "(" before line 2 of tMenu
-- there is nothing to copy: copy is disabled
end if
put tMenu into btn "MyMenu"
popup btn "MyMenu"
end if
else pass mouseDown
end mouseDown
Of course you'll set the traversalOn of the popup menu button to
false to avoid text deselection.

Hi All,
I have a contextual menu (popup) on a text field with several
options. One
of them is Select All.
This allows the user to select all the text in this field.
If the user actuates the contextual menu again, the Select All
option should
still be there, but also a new option is selectable - Copy - copies
all
selected text to the clipboard.
So the question is, how do I detect if text is selected in a text
field, and
then dynamically "change out" the menu option by adding "Copy" to it?
Regards,
Mark Stuart
