Pull Down Menu button error?

[bn]

Marek,

Using Jacque's solution with the "/|" trick if there is no unicode in the list but the label of button is unicode

this one I can not reproduce.

attached is a stack that has all the relevant combinations, as far as I see. Could you please check.

From what I gather regarding pullDownMenus (on a Mac)

Label ASCII/Text ASCII -> works

Label Unicode/Text ASCII -> does not work (the original problem)

workarounds are
Label Unicode/ Text ASCII with "/|" -> works
Label Unicode/ Text ASCII with MenuHistory -> works
Label Unicode/ Text ASCII with conversion of pItem via templateField -> works


Label Unicode/Text Unicode with "/|" -> works

Label ASCII/Text Unicode with "/|" -> works


KInd regards

Bernd,

Using Jacque's solution with the "/|" trick if there is no unicode in the list but the label of button is unicode

now I can't reproduce it also. Maybe when I was changing unicode <-> ascii content of the list I made some mistake or lost some invisible "rubbish" from previous unicode content.

I can confirm that any workaround is working in my stack also.

By the way, could you suggest the best method to use unicode with "Option Menu"? There is not working "/|" trick.

couldn't you use the menuHistory? Probably the easiest.

For a slightly more involved solution see attached option menu.

How can I add a new line to the menuitems of a combobox by script?

[bn]

Hi Rob,

How can I add a new line to the menuitems of a combobox by script?

many ways to do this:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put return &  "abc" after button "myCombobox"
end mouseUp

or

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put the number of lines of button "myComboBox" into tSoManyLines
   put "new" into line tSoManyLInes + 1 of button "myComboBox"
end mouseUp

Kind regards
Bernd
