So I am working on some EFL programs for very young
children and ended up with a lots of drag and drop images -
now I could spend lines and lines of code of the sort:
if the name of it is "COW.gif" then do TIDDLEY POM
identifying each image individually - tedious, memory
hungry and inefficient.
Now I may have reinvented the wheel - notwithstanding this
might be a happy trick to share with the 'basic educational
stack' crowd to which I proudly belong:
if you have a class of objects to be dragged and dropped
(or somesuch) set the tooltip of all of them to some
'invisible' text such as 3 spaces and then use the
following:
if the tooltip of it is " " then do WHAT YOU FANCY
I may be missing something ...
what is the advantage of using tooltips over simply setting a custom
property ?
if the cWhatDoYouFancy of it is true then do WHAT YOU FANCY
This leaves the tooltips available (should you want) for their normal
use, and each image can have multiple of these as needed
if the cDragAndDroppable of it is true then do DRAG IT
if the cMultiColoured of it is true then do ConvertToGreyScale
