Hi,
I have a number of fields that the user can change. When they select
a field I want its old contents selected so that if they start to
type it overwrites the current contents. If they want to edit the
contents then they click again to de-select the text.
I tried your suggestion and it worked! Not sure why though?
The reason I added it without using the "send" command was because in
the documentation for "openField" it says:
Examples:
on openField -- when clicking in the field, select all its text
select text of the target
end openField
Which is exactly what I want to do!
All the Best
Dave
openField
Type: message
Syntax: openField
Objects (or Types): field
See Also: closeField message, exitField message, focusIn message,
select command, selection keyword
Introduced: 1.0
Changed: 1.0
Platform Support:
Summary:
Sent to an unlocked field when you click or select text in that field.
Examples:
on openField -- when clicking in the field, select all its text
select text of the target
end openField
Handle the openField message if you want to do something when the
user enters a field.
Comments:
The openField message is sent to buttons whose menuMode is
"comboBox", since the type-in box in a combo box behaves like a field.
The openField message is not sent to locked fields. When a locked
field becomes active (focused) or when text in it is selected by a
handler, the focusIn message is sent to it.

Hi Dave,
Probably you could use:
on openField
send "SelectText" to me in 0 milliseconds
end openField
--------------------------
on SelectText
select the text of the target
end SelectText
But I really don't understand the concept ;-)
From an ergonomic point of view, I mean.
Nevertheless, keep in mind that sending messages instead of calling
them directly may solve many problems...
Best regards from Paris,

Hi,
I have the following Script on a number of fields:
on openField
select the text of me
end openField
on closeField
end closeField
I want the whole of the field to be Selected when the user clicks
into the field.
When I run this, the field gets selected (the focus border comes
on), the field data is selected momentarily but then it gets
deselected!
I have the following properties set on this field:
Visible
Don't Wrap
Opaque
Focusable
Focus Border
Tab on Return
Three Dimensional
Show Border
AutoHiLite
All the Rest are off.
I could swear this used to work fine, but I'm now using RunRev
2.8.0.370 it seems to have stopped working. So I'm not sure if
it's something else I've done or something that has changed in
RunRev.
One other thing, the fields are part of a group which is part of
another Group, not sure if this would cause a problem or not.
Any suggestions?
All the Best
Dave
