How can i highlight the default text

[Ultravibe]

Hi all!
I've got a stack:
Text labels and some text fields with sportsman's data (Number, Name, Surname etc).
When clicking on one of it runs the modal stack with text entry field. Initially, text field has "previous" value of field that we clicked in main window.
I need to highlight this "previous" text. But how?
Advise me some handlers or smthg else...

The "ask" command opens a modal window with the default text highlighted, e.g.,

Code: Select all

ask "What is your surname?" with the text of field "Surname"

Is this what you wanted?

Regards,
Sri.

Hi Ultravibe,

not sure I understand, but I would add this to the "opencard" script of your modal stack:

Code: Select all

on opencard
  select text of fld "the one with the PREVIOUS text in it"
  ...
end opencard

Know what I mean?


Best

Sri, thank U, but the way that advise Klaus is better, because no need to change structure of program code etc
