Jeanne, this either needs fixed or needs documented.
Today on OSX Panther, Rev is not getting "Cancel" back to the local variable "it" from
the print dialog box. "it" is empty. This is probably correct as the default engine
behavior, but its not in the docs.
set the printmargins to 0,0,0,0
answer printer
if it is "Cancel" then
set the rect of this stack to gStackSize
exit printThisSloka
else
print card
end if
set the rect of this stack to gStackSize
restorePresentationPositions
In the print dialog box, the button is clearly "Cancel" but if I cancel, the script
doesn't stop, the card is printed. On the other hand "the result" does work:
set the printmargins to 0,0,0,0
if the result is "Cancel" then
set the rect of this stack to gStackSize
exit printThisSloka
else
print card
end if
This is either a bug, where for use of "answer printer" Rev should pass the result to
"it" or needs more documentation if the globally expected engine behavior is for
anything from the system to *not* be in "it" but be passed via the result, which is
also logical. Old time xTalkers may take that for granted, newbies will stumble
=====docs could say something like:
" data returned from system functions and system dialogs may not always be passed to
the local variable "it". in such cases, the system response is probably in "the
result." For example, if a user cancels a print job from the system Page Set up or
Print Dialog, the local variable "it" will be empty, but, "the result" will be
"Cancel," if the button pushed was "Cancel."
