Re: Border screen "artifacts" on dynamically moving button on Windows

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

Ken,

I wish it were that simple... traversalOn is false (not checked in the 
properties)

We can boil this down now to a problem with the left mouse  button on 
Windows... right mouse button click down doesn't affect it... it works 
as expected the "artifact" of the sudden and persistence appearance of 
the border of the button only appears when the left mouse button is 
click...

Sannyasin,

Is it possible that what your user is seeing is the grey inner 
rectangle
that shows the focus of the button? That is, if you turn off the
"traversalOn" does it go away?

the main presentation card that does the "slide show" uses a
transparent button whose icon is dynamically set to different images
that live as resources on card two (which the user never sees). I put
in a handler to allow the user to reduce or enlarge the artwork, and
move the button on the screen accordingly.
This is implemented by simply trapping,
in the stack script,  for a mouseup on the button "artwork"
on mouseup
   if the target contains "artwork" then viewFullArt
end mouseup
## This handles does the job of pulling an id for the art and
resizing
it up or down:
on viewFullArt
   put (3000+gNowShowing) into tPicture
   if the width of image id tPicture = 540 then ## we need to
reduce the
picture.
     hide fld "sideViewText"
     lock screen
     set the rect of image id tPicture to 0,0,290,290
     set the loc of btn "artwork" to 369,171
     show fld "slokaTitle"
     show fld "SlokaText"
     unlock screen with visual effect dissolve fast
## our user on windows is now seeing a border around the button
   else ## it's already reduced and we need to enlarge it
     hide fld "slokaTitle"
     hide fld "slokaText"
     put fld "slokaTitle" & cr & cr & fld "slokaText" into fld
"SideViewText"
     show fld "sideViewText"
     set the loc of btn "artwork" to 279,279
     lock screen
     set the width of  image id tPicture to 540
     set the height of image id tPicture to 540
     set the textstyle of line 3 of fld "sideViewText" to bold
     set the textsize of line 3 of fld "SideViewText" to 18
   end if
## our user now says the border of the button in it's
previous location
persists at that location
end viewFullArt
Very simple and works beautifully on a Mac and also on many Windows
machines. But one windows tester reports:
Left click on image enlarges pic to page left but outlines pic with
single
lined box,  with text moving to page right.  A second left
click and
pic
shrinks to page center top, text moves to bottom (all as
expected from
original
format) but box persists.  The single line box is now centered and
moved
towards top, but size is so large that it cuts through titles and
sloka text.
The text is dominate in title areas, but in sloka area text
coexists
with box
outline.  In the sloka area the with box outline and the text both
appear as if
someone on an old typewriter overstruck the text with a hyphen.
I don't know precisely what is going on  as I cannot replicate the
problem... but it appears that, though the button is transparent and
the showborder is false, showfocusborder is also false, that we are
getting some border artifact "bleed through-hangover" in the dos
machine's video card nevertheless. The difference in the fields
appearance is because I have set some of them to opaque and others to
opaque=false (transparent fields) which I can fix, (all should be
opaque) but the issue is I can figure out is the appearance and
persistence of a border for the button when their should be none.
Can anyone help? Is this a known issue? Any work arounds? Can any one
replicate this? (download and try on your windows machine.) I don't
know what else to turn off for the button... I see I have it
set to 3D
(a default) maybe that is it... or some more locking and unlocking
needs to be done to force the video card to refresh? Does the 3D
property affect the appearance of a border even if the showborder is
false?
TIA
