Change button background on mouse click

[croivo]

Let's say my button has background image [picture1] and what I want to do is when I click on that button, the background image changes from [picture1] to [picture2]. How to change image background? The code should be something like:

Code: Select all

set the backgroundimage of me to [ImageName]

If you use the button's icon properties this becomes very easy with automatic behavior - check out the Dictionary filtered for "icon" to see all the icon options available.

Hello guys, I have question about how to change the background of text field when it is selected (active). I want to have, for example, green text fied but when user click with mouse on it (or with TAB key navigates to that field), it become blue. And when user click on some other field or on empty area, the background changes back to green.
Any ideas?

While only buttons have an icon property, all controls in LiveCode have many other properties to govern appearance, including foregroundColor, backgroundColor, foregroundPattern, and backgroundPattern.

The latter is what you're looking for here:

set the backgroundPattern of field "SomeField" to tSomeImageID

I know for that, my problem is that I don't know what code to put instead of "on mouseUp" (i don't know how that line of code i called). How to know when text field is selected (active)?

See the "focusIn" and "focusOut" entries in the dictionary. Or, depending on what your script does, you might use "openfield" and "closefield" and "exitField" instead.

Edit: I see that your field is editable. In that case use the open/close/exit field messages. Focus messages only work in locked fields.

That is exactly what I wanted. Thanks!
