Hi All,
I'm very happy to discover a dropper tool in Revolution.
I try with a simple "choose dropper tool" :
The cursor change but it change after the clic to the browse tool and the pencolor dont change.
Something else is necessary ?
Thank
Jean-Marc

Dear Jean-Marc,
I'm a little surprised too, that the tools palette doesn't pick up the pencolor after this property is set by the dropper tool. Here's an example that might help you:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
choose dropper tool
repeat until not (the tool is "dropper tool") with messages
put the pencolor
wait 20 millisecs with messages
end repeat
end mouseUp
Best regards,
Mark

Jean-Marc,
I cant get the dropper tool to work in any meaningful way either. May be I miss something, for me it does pick up the color but does not revert the tool state, it stays in dropper mode.
Has anybody a working example for the dropper tool?
Marks example does not realy work for me either, it reverts when I click on the tools palette, but not when I click on anything else.
regards
Bernd

Thanks Mark and Bernd,
The Mark'script work fine from a substack opended as palette (a tool palette)
A clic with the dropper tool change automaticaly the pencolor.
For the brushcolor it is necessary to "set the brushcolor to the pencolor"
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
choose dropper tool
repeat until not (the tool is "dropper tool") with messages
set the brushcolor to the pencolor
set the backgroundcolor of grc "CurCol" to the pencolor
wait 20 millisecs with messages
end repeat
end mouseUp
All the best
Jean-Marc
