Stagger Script Edit Windows

Hi,
I came up with a non-paschal mystery.
Her is a script, that staggers the open Script Editor Windows:
Code: Select all
put the windows into WindowList
filter WindowList with "revNewScriptEditor*"
repeat with ii = 1 to the Number of lines in WindowList
get line ii of WindowList
set the Rect of window it to "100,100,1000,600"
put Patt into fld "Find" of window it
set the TopLeft of window it to 50 + (ii - 1) * 10,50 + (ii -1) * 10
end repeat
This script works, If I put it with MouseUp into a button.
This script works, If I put it without MouseUp into the message box..
This script does not work, if I put it at the end of a handler A in the stacks's script, or if I put it into an own handler B in the stack's script, that is called by handler A: all script editor windows lie congruently on top of each other.
Thanks in advance
Peter

Hi,
I inserted the line
so that my code now looks like
Code: Select all
on pda_WindowStagger_ScriptEditor Patt
put the Windows into WindowList
filter WindowList with "revNewScriptEditor*"
repeat with ii = 1 to the Number of lines in WindowList
put line ii of WindowList into WindowLine
go window WindowLine
set the Rect of window WindowLine to "100,100,1000,600"
put Patt into fld "Find" of window WindowLine
set the TopLeft of window WindowLine to 50 + (ii - 1) * 10,50 + (ii -1) * 10
end repeat
end pda_WindowStagger_ScriptEditor
Regards
Peter

Hi,
I correct my latest post giving an example button script:
Code: Select all
on MouseUp
repeat with ii = 1 to 25
edit the Script of btn ii
end repeat
send "pda_WindowStagger_ScriptEditor" && "on" to me in 10 ticks
end MouseUp
---
on pda_WindowStagger_ScriptEditor Patt
put the Windows into WindowList
filter WindowList with "revNewScriptEditor*"
repeat with ii = 1 to the Number of lines in WindowList
put line ii of WindowList into WindowLine
set the Rect of window WindowLine to "100,100,1000,600"
put Patt into fld "Find" of window WindowLine
-- next line is optional: reverts the order of the windows
go window WindowLine
set the TopLeft of window WindowLine to 50 + (ii - 1) * 25,50 + (ii -1) * 25
end repeat
end pda_WindowStagger_ScriptEditor
The critical code line is:
Code: Select all
send "pda_WindowStagger_ScriptEditor" && "on" to me in 10 ticks
Regards

Hi Peter,
better always use PARENS when concatenating strings:
Code: Select all
...
send ("pda_WindowStagger_ScriptEditor" && "on") to me in 10 ticks
...
However they are not even neccessary here at all:
Code: Select all
...
send "pda_WindowStagger_ScriptEditor on" to me in 10 ticks
...
Should do
Best
Klaus
