Hi Kevin,
I think

Code: Select all

choose browse tool

From an other stack or substack like a tools palette.
Best regards

It seems mouse events are not sent when the current tool is not "browse".
You can go back to browse tool from an other stack or substack.
Create a substack "stMyTools"
Create a btn "Polygon" with this script

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   choose polygon tool
end mouseUp

Create a btn "Browse" with this script

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   choose browser tool
end mouseUp

Type on the message box

Code: Select all

palette stack stMyTools

Stack stMyTools is like a palette and you can choose your current tool

There are several messages that are sent in edit mode, mostly mouse related (mouseMove, mouseEnter, mouseLeave, mouseDoubleDown).

Whether these can be of use to you is another story.

It seems mouse events are not sent when the current tool is not "browse".

They are sent by the engine, but the IDE traps them for editing use. You'll find them reliably sent in a standalone, and while developing you can let the IDE pass them by suspending the IDE when testing those script (Development->Suspend Development Tools).

What Richard said.

But for your issue, would double clicking on the card do, if you had in the card script"

Code: Select all

on mouseDoubleDown
   choose browse tool
end mouseDoubleDown

Otherwise your choices in the IDE are limited, unless you use, say, a "mouseEnter" handler in a button that is named "Browse".

I tried mouseenter with one btn "browse" and one btn "polygon"
development tools suspended.
Only mouseenter with browse tool works for me (LC 7.06)
MouseDoubleDown in cd script works but creates a polygon before (if polygon is the currrent tool of course)

I had ordinary development tools (not suspended) in v. 6.7.

Graig,
I tried with LC 6.7 and I get same result, mouseenter works only with browse tool.

On a new card with a button. Put this in the card script:

Code: Select all

on mouseEnter
   put the target
end mouseEnter

on mouseLeave
   put the name of this cd
end mouseLeave

on mouseDoubleDown
   choose browse tool
end mouseDoubleDown

With the edit tool chosen, move the cursor in and out of the button rect. When you double-click on the card, the browse tool is selected. OS10.9.5, LC 6.7.9.

Craig,

Sorry if I don't understand but when I choose graphic oval tool.
Card script:

Code: Select all

on mouseEnter
      put the target
      put the ticks && "mouseEnter"
end mouseEnter

The target = empty (with development tools or not)

This will only work with a graphic tool if the graphic is selected, which means the last one created. I cannot select an existing grc and then choose the graphic tool. That deselects it.

Create a new grc. Immediately move the cursor in and out of the selected control. The messages are sent.

The edit tools works with any control.

Yes, but the first question was "choose polygon tool" not "create a polygon".

Jean-Marc.

Sure.

My thread went off topic, more general LC talk...
