Hi klamp,
put this into the stackscript:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
answer the name of the owner of the target
end mouseUp
Best

Yes: but now I have a question:
For instance, if I have this in the stackScript:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put the ID of the target
end mouseUp
It gives me a number (well, that is what I asked for).
But I would also like to find out WHAT type of thing I clicked on:
card, button, field, . . .

I love answering my own questions
(it's an EGO thing):
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
get the name of the target
set the itemDelimiter to " "
put it into DETAILS
put item 1 of DETAILS
end mouseUp

That does not work with the FIELD or with the GROUP for some reason.
Klaus?

Or just:
Code: Select all
...
put word 1 of the name of the target
...

but not sure why the need to use
the target
if i group 2 buttons together and name the group 'buttonGroup' and edit the group's script to
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
answer the short name of me
pass mouseUp
end mouseUp
it answers 'buttonGroup'

My bad... i was answering the original poster's question:

For that to work you'd need to use 'the target' AND either not implement any mouseUp handlers in the specific message path or have them 'pass mouseUp' if any component does have a mouseUp handler.
Again no relevance to Richmond's wishes.
On that note i do use
the long id and
the long name quite frequently. Not only does word 1 give you the type, but if you also set the
itemDelimiter to
" of " (with spaces), item -2 gives you the card name and item -1 gives you the stack name. Quite handy...

"Richmond's wishes", Ha, Ha, give me a break:
"Richmond's sh*t-stirring musings" more like: dead time
