Cursor Icon for svg buttons

Post by ghettocottage » Tue Jan 31, 2017 7:32 pm

I have an app that I just tested on Mac OS X. Everything seems to work fine, but I have some svg-icons I am using for buttons. When I hover over the buttons, I am getting this little watch-icon. It looks like this:

Can I tell Livecode to now have any little icons show up?

Hi ghettocottage,

sorry, don't get it? :shock:
Are you looking for a CURSOR or an ICON?

If the latter:
Did you assign the ID of a SVG widget to a buttons icon property?
(Enter the ID in the ICON filed of the button in the inspector?)
If yes, this is not (yet) supported unfortunately!

This is the official Livecode "wait" cursor and the engine is probably considering to either crash or throw an error, I presume! :D

Not sure what you mean with this?

Hi Klaus,

I found it.
I had an SVG icon I was using as a button.
I had a script on that button where "on mouse enter" it would "set cursor to hand"
that was working fine, but I tested on a Mac for the first time and it was not giving me a hand, but a watch icon (like the one I posted)
I changed the script to "set cursor to arrow" and that works fine. I can live with the arrow.

I had forgot that I had that in the script, and could not remember where to change that....just had to dig around in my code.

Thanks!

Klaus
