Switch Button Widget

[nrprioleau]

Please can someone explain why this code in my switch button generates an error in the IDE as well as the standalone?

Code: Select all

on hiliteChanged
   put the hilited of me into tAction
   doChangeRecord tAction
end hiliteChanged

Hi nrprioleau,

change your code to

Code: Select all

on hiliteChanged
   put the hilite of me into tAction
   doChangeRecord tAction
end hiliteChanged

there seems to be an error in the default script of the switch button: the property is not "hilited" but "highlight" or "hilite"

Kind regards
Bernd

Edit: I reported this as a bug:

Edit of the Edit:

it is not a bug because I just dragged the switch button off the toolbar and it did not show the status in the message box. It turns out that the script has to be opened once and compiled for it to work.

I marked the bug report as "not a bug"

But this leaves the question why your script does not work. It seems the problem is not in the default script of the switch button but further down in your handler "doChangeRecord tAction".
