Cripes: talk about a kick in the prawns!

Here's an 11 year old pupil of mine:

Which "threw me off" quite a bit as I ALWAYS (in my EFL programs) use a Tick image for end users to check a field's contents.

I had never used the RETURN key, and had never worked out how to.

SO . . . to the much-maligned built-in Dictionary and found on ReturnInField, which, was, frankly, like being handed the keys to
the Holy Kingdom on a plate:

Code: Select all

on returnInField
   if fld "ff" contains "black" then
      set the vis of img "YES" to true
      set the vis of img "NO" to false
   else
      set the vis of img "YES" to false
      set the vis of img "NO" to true
   end if
   if fld "ff" is empty then
      set the vis of img "YES" to false
      set the vis of img "NO" to false
   end if
end returnInField

Huh?

Code: Select all

On ReturnInField
set the savedText of me to line 1 to -1 of  of me
pass ReturnInField
End ReturInField

On EnterInField
put the savedText of me into myScript
do myScript
exit EnterInfield
On EnterInField

Just like the multiline part of message box. oh that doesn't work like that anymore? It's a mac thing only?
Oh duh, i turned messages off.

See my stack script for more complete functional action

Oh I'll just post it here.

We used your image in field thing for disclosure arrows way back in 2005. it was pure wizardry to me when we did it. Pretty sure the guy who made it for me helped roll the Tree View for RunRev eventually.
