Option Menus and "return"

[rdlankes@iis.syr.edu]

I am using the option menu to create a pickwheel list to select a subject (popup buttons don't work on the iPad as I found out and mentioned in the docs). When the user makes a selection, they have to click off the menu to make anything happen...in essence making a selection on the iPad through the option menu doesn't return the results until after they click anywhere else. Is there a way to have the user bring up the option menu, click on the item they want, and then automatically go to a page without having them click elsewhere?

I like the iPhone control iphonePick that at least has a "done" button, but the iPad doesn't.

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

local pItemName
on menuPick pItemName
   switch pItemName
   end switch
   set the label of me to "Threads"
   go cd pItemName of stack "Threads"
end menuPick

Hi rdlankes:

This has been fixed in 4.6-DP5.

I tested your code and it works exactly as your request.

Hi rdlankes@iis.syr.edu,

if you do not differ between the menuitems, you can omit the "switch" part completely:

Code: Select all

local pItemName
on menuPick pItemName
   set the label of me to "Threads"
   go cd pItemName of stack "Threads"
end menuPick

Best

Sorry for the stupid question...how do I get 4.6-DP5?

Hi (wo)man with the long nickname,

that is no stupid question at all!
