Well: the above was largely rubbish.

But this seems to work:

on keyDown KD
switch KD
case "1"
  send "mouseDown" to btn "Key1"
      exit to top
  break
  default
     pass keyDown
end switch
end keyDown

Possibly bonkers: on keyDown KD switch KD case "1" if enableKey1 is "false" then pass keyDown else send "mouseDown" to btn "Key1" set enableKey1 to "false" end if break default pass rawKeyDown end switch end keyDown Sorry: just made this up "off the top of my head" as getting ready for work and no t...

Seems a slightly long-winded way of doing something that seems to have been done in a simpler way in HyperCard.

Being "clever" I tried this:

Code: Select all

on menuPick itemPicked
   set the checkmark of itemPicked to true
end menuPick

But that was because I was silly and didn't read THIS first:

Mind you: it might "be lovely" if it were re-introduced into LiveCode.

should

Aye, but that does not seem to be the case.

I lay awake most of last night agonising HOW to get at the properties of the revTools stack that allow it to;

1. Wax and Wane:

2. Shrink and Grow:

nowhere near 1/2 second, maybe a tick or two Well, we have no way of knowing the type of machine the OP is using. If it is a "steam driven" machine from 15 years ago things probably work a lot more slowly than something a bit more contemporary. The time that inconvenient title is displayed for is p...

Can't see it on Kubuntu KDE Plasma.

   answer "Fried Fish" titled "Melted Cheese"

I just made a stack/palette with limited buttons.

I am trying to make a settings palette so that a teacher can configure a setup for
a specific class the way they want it.

I keep all my LiveCode installs in a folder inside my Home folder called "LC". on the Macintoshes I deploy on.

Over here, where I currently am (Kubuntu KDE Plasma Arty Tarty) there is no problem with Apple's

Why send mouseup twice?

Aye, well that does sound a bit daft . . . but . . .

The stack "TB" has the buttons saved in the condition they were in when last
used, so, if, mouseUp were sent up only once the revTools stack would end
up in exactly the reverse configuration to that saved.
