Dear list members,
To follow the rev tools palette by a window (a palette), I use the
send message in time form below :
command scanForRevToolsLoc
set the topLeft of this stack to the bottomLeft of stack "Revtools"
send "scanForRevToolsLoc" to me in 100 milliseconds
end scanForRevToolsLoc
This handler works as expect excepted for one thing: it seems that
dragging the tools palette by it's title bar, give no time to the RR
engine. So during the drag, nothing is intercepted by the
scanForRevToolsLoc handler. It performs only when the user release the
mouse on the palette.
Is it possible to have something more in "real time"?
TIA
I reply myself to this old message I sent. I agree that is a bad
habit, but that is the fault of Richmond!
Molluscan humour?
Now; down to business!
Do you mean that when you drag the revTools palette you want another
stack to follow it (e.g. 'glued to' one side)?
I have done this previously, having at one time had a supplementary
palettised stack with additional controls that followed the revTools
palette.
HOWEVER, there was a bit of lag-time and after a while I began to feel
seasick.
In that sort of situation you could probably get away with a few lines of
script in the revTools stack script such as:
on mouseDrag
set the left of stack "myRubbish" to the right of stack "revTools"
end mouseDrag
Instead to use a send in time handler, a possible solution consists to
insert a front script with a moveStack handler.
Here is the front script:
constant kColorPickerName = "ASG_ColorPicker"
constant kToolsPaletteName = "revTools"
on moveStack
_dockPicker --
pass moveStack
end moveStack
on resizeStack
_dockPicker --
pass resizeStack
end resizeStack
private command _dockPicker
if (_StackIsToolsPalette()) then
if (_PickerIsDocked()) then
send "dockPicker" to cd 1 of stack kColorPickerName
end if
end if
end _dockPicker
private function _StackIsToolsPalette
return (the short name of the owner of the target is kToolsPaletteName)
end _StackIsToolsPalette
private function _PickerIsDocked
return (the cIsDocked of stack kColorPickerName)
end _PickerIsDocked
And the script to dock the palette to the "revtools" palette:
constant kToolsPaletteName = "revTools"
command dockPicker
set the topLeft of this stack to the bottomLeft of stack kToolsPaletteName
go to this stack
end dockPicker
All working now in "real time".
Best regards,
