hi-

I've got what is probably a simple question, but I'm too dense this
morning to figure it out on my own.

Don't think so; I had to do this once and the method I used before doesn't work now. I think there is a bug in "selectedchunk". Instead of returning the location of the blinking insertion point, it is returning the clicktext of the locked field. It didn't used to.


I've got two fields on a card, one of which has some text I'm editing,
and the other is a locked field with a set of phrases to choose from.
What I'd like to do is click (or double-click or whatever) on the
locked field to select a phrase and have it inserted into my text in
the editing field *at the place I was editing*.

I can get the phrase with a mouseUp handler, and I don't have a
problem placing it before the editing text or after the editing text,
but figuring out how to set a bookmark and use it as an insertion
point is escaping me right now. Anyone have a recipe for this?

This workaround seems to do it, but it is a hack:


In the editable field:

on keydown
  global gSel
  put the selectedchunk into gSel
  pass keydown
end keydown

In the list field:

on mouseUp
  global gSel
  do "put the value of the clickline into" && gSel
end mouseUp

It's ugly.
