I have an application with a field that can have link style text in

show up in a field when you mouse over it, just like in a web
browser when you mouse over a hot link. So I wrote this handler in
the field.
on mouseWithin
if the textStyle of the mouseText contains "link" then
put the linkText of the mouseText into fld "status"
else
put empty into fld "status"
end if
end mouseWithin
It works great, but it intermittently blocks the linkClicked
handler in the same field from executing. I assume it's because the
mouseWithin message is sent continuously and it's occasionally
blocking the mouse clicks. Can anyone suggest a more reliable way
to make these functionalities play nicely together?
Devin,
Would something like this work:
on mouseMove pX, pY
if word 1 of the target is "field" then
if the mouseChunk is not empty then
get the linkText of the mouseChunk
if it is not empty then
set toolTip of the target to it
else
set toolTip of the target to empty
end if
end if
end if
pass mouseMove
end mouseMove
It just sets the tooltip of the field to the linkText which will
appear below the cursor.
