Hi Andre
It does help when you read the manual :) I did read it but I missed
the
significance of the last line!
Anyway problem is solved all I need do is pass the mouseWithin
message in
each button - not a great price to pay.
Ian,
Just curious, why do you prefer mouseWithin to mouseEnter or
mouseMove?
(with one of these, you should not have to "pay any price" ;-)),
should you?
I always use mousemove for this kind of thing, for that exact reason
-- no mousemove is sent unless the object itself has a mousemove
handler, which is cumbersome if you want some generic behavior when
the mouse is within any button, for instance.
André
And thank you for your very quick reply.

Bonjour Ian,
I just tried the following
- created:
- a stack
- a group "grButton" of 3 buttons: Button1, Button2, Button3
- another group "grBtn" of 3 buttons: Btn1, Btn2, Btn3
- grouped the two groups in a super group "grGlobal"
- a button "BtnBehavior"
- a field "fldTarget"
- put the following handler in the script of "BtnBehavior":
on mouseWithin
put the short name of the target into fld "fldTarget"
end mouseWithin
Finally i set the behavior of grp "grGlobal" to the long id of btn
"btnBehavior" of this card.
Hoping that replicate your problem,
Well:
Does not work with mouseWithin
But that works with other messages: with mouseUp, with mouseDown,
with
mouseMove, with mouseEnter
Seems that the explanation is the last line of the doc on
"mouseWithin" in
the Dictionary:
Note: If there is no mouseWithinhandler in the target
object'sscript, no
mouseWithinmessage is sent, even if there is a mouseWithinhandler
in an
object that's further along the message path.

Hi
I have a number of buttons which are grouped together, and then
this group
is grouped with other similar groups to form a super-group. I
have in
excess
of 300 buttons then that each represent a date. When I put the
mouse over
any one of the buttons I want to access an array and display the
relevant
information for that day in a separate field. I have a
mouseWithin handler
to access the data.
When the mouseWithin handler is in the script of the actual
button all
works
as it should.
When I move the script to a separate button and set the behavior
of my
original button to it - nothing happens. The Inspector shows the
behavior
location correctly.
There are no other mouseWithin handlers in the message path.
This is the line I used in the message box to set the behavior of
the
first
of my buttons.
set the behavior of btn "checkBx 0" of grp "sepGrp" of cd
"calendar" to
the
long id of btn "behave" of cd "calendar"
I even tried referencing all the groups but still nothing happened.
set the behavior of btn "checkBx 0" of grp "sepGrp" of grp
"calendargrp"
of
cd "calendar" to the long id of btn "behave" of cd "calendar"
This is the corresponding behavior entry from the Inspector
button id 1647 of stack "timeTable3"
which resolves to the button with my mousewithin script.
I can strip out the core of the script into a separate handler
and place
it
in the card script but I'd rather not replicate the remaining
code 300+
times (even though it is only a dozen lines) if I can get
behaviors to
work.
I'm using LiveCode 4.5 Bld 1080
Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
