No, that isn't what I get in fact! How curious. I think I constructed
the test stack exactly as you describe. (I copied-and-pasted your
field and card scripts.) When I put the insertion point in field 1
and press cmd-A I get the "DOWN…" and "UP…" outputs, but I do not get
either the "FIELD…" or the "CARD…" outputs. When I put the insertion
point outside the fields, cmd-A yields the "CARD…" result (and a
system alert sound--why?). When I put the insertion point inside
field 2, all the text in field 2 gets selected.
This is with OS 10.4.3, Rev (Dreamcard) 2.6.1 build 152.
Here's another experiment: Make a simple stack containing a scrolling
list field and a button called "myCmdAbtn". The script for that button:
on mouseUp
answer "myCmdAbtn got a press"
end mouseUp
The scrolling-list field's script:
on commandKeyDown theKey
switch (theKey)
case "a"
pressTheKey
break
end switch
end commandKeyDown
The stack script:
on commandKeyDown theKey
switch (theKey)
case "a"
send mouseUp to btn "myCmdAbtn"
break
end switch
end commandKeyDown
On my system, pressing cmd-A when the insertion point is not inside
the field produces the 'answer' dialog, but pressing cmd-A when the
insertion point is inside the field selects all the items (default
'Choice 1', 'Choice 2', 'Choice 3') in the field.
This is why, to get a cmd-A from inside the field to "press the
button", I found I had to put a rawKeyDown handler in the field's
script, plus a (mostly redundant) commandKeyDown handler in the stack
script in case the user happens to have clicked outside the field and
so put the insertion point outside it.
Am I missing something? Or is there a change between OS X versions?
Or what?
Confused,
Charles

I'd really like to know if I've got something wrong about this.
Charles, that's not what I'm getting... I created a simple stack
with two
fields - the script of field 1 is:
on rawKeyDown pKey
put the commandKey into tCmd
put "DOWN:" && pKey && tCmd & cr after fld 2
pass rawKeyDown
end rawKeyDown
on rawKeyUp pKey
put the commandKey into tCmd
put "UP:" && pKey && tCmd & cr after fld 2
pass rawKeyUp
end rawKeyUp
on commandKeyDown pKey
put "FIELD Command Down:" && pKey & cr after fld 2
pass commandKeyDown
end commandKeyDown
And the script of the card was:
on commandKeyDown pKey
put "CARD Command Down:" && pKey & cr after fld 2
pass commandKeyDown
end commandKeyDown
I put the insertion point into the first field and typed "Command-
A" and got
this in field 2:
DOWN: 97 down
FIELD Command Down: a
CARD Command Down: a
UP: 97 down
This was in Mac OS X 10.3.9; haven't tested it in Windows... are
you getting
the same thing on your end?
