Jacque. I do not think so. My test stack has a button with: on mouseup set the cursor to watch lock cursor --wait until the mouseClick-- with messages end mouseUp Clicking on the button changes the cursor. But moving that cursor out of the rect of the button reverts to the standard arrow. I am in LC...

Richmond.

Are on linux? For me, only the global "defaultCursor" will allow me to keep whatever cursor I chose using the browse tool.

Surely the platform cannot have that sort of difference.

Craig

Richmond. Just downloaded your second stack. Nope. Again, the issue is that the cursor property cannot be used if one expects it to stick as the user navigates around the card. Richard really points out that, counterintuitively (at least to me) the "cursor" property, along with "lock cursor", is not...

Richmond.

Your "paw" changes as soon as the cursor leaves that image. That is what I wrote about initially.

Craig

Richard.

Yep, that does it, thanks. Do not remember that at all. The dictionary ought to at least mention it in related "cursor" entries.

Craig

It seems that changing the cursor is meant for running handlers, not just general cursor "styles".

But is there no way to simply have ones own cursor for general use?

Craig

This derived from a thread about cursors. I almost never use the "cursor" property. But I do not understand why, in a new stack with a single button, in the button script: on mouseUp set the cursor to watch lock cursor end mouseUp The cursor only is watch while within the rect of the button itself. ...

@Klaus. It is just that not every person who posts in a thread reads the previous history of that thread. I have been guilty of that occasionally. @ Anthony. Right, but wrong. "optionKey" is a function. You cannot use "if the optionKey()". Use instead "if optionKey()", or go where I always do, "if t...

Zax. You should inform Jacque that the "direction" of that diagram is upside down. She will appreciate the news.

Richmond.

Isn't this another comment about SVG in a thread that you started just a while ago?

Craig

Make a field with many lines of text. In a button somewhere, put: Craig

Bernd,

Fun stuff. Thank you.

That home stack is a doozy.

Glad to hear someone thinks the weekend starts today.

Craig

Bernd.

Do you have a secret list of undocumented native LC words? My favorite is "the messageMessages", but I know there are lots more.

Craig

Richmond. Which stack? Whichever stack. It turns out that in a new session, only the stack "revNewScriptEditor" is loaded, and it seems to be some sort of template builder for new instances of an SE as they are called. I just never knew that. But the "1" appended to the working, "real" SE should hav...

A current thread about finding a lost cursor made me offer the suggestion to: if the optionKey is down then set the screenMouseLoc to the loc of this stack Works fine. But the OP mentioned that the issue was when he was editing scripts, so I thought I could be more helpful, and tested: if the option...
