While documentation shows the properties of a simple list widget it does not mention any messages. I am trying to use the simpleList widget as a clickable list. (The hoverColor makes this appear as if it was intended for such a purpose.) Unfortunately, I have been unable to discover what “clickMessage” is passed to the widget that might help me deduce the clicked row. I am using LC Create in Classic mode.
Hi Scott,
I used the simple list field to manage the click, it is gleaned from a workflow
/* This code was generated from the selectListField workflow. */
on mouseUp pButton, pEvent
put pEvent[“row”] into tRow
put the content of me into tMyContent
put tMyContent[tRow][“title”] into tText
set the text of widget “testField” to tText
set the text of widget “MyInputField” to tText
end mouseUp
And yes I agree that messages are sadly lacking from documentation
Kind regards
Bernd
Thank you Bernd! I nearly had it but nearly wasn’t enough. I am using Create in the “Classic” environment and when I switched to the new “Create” environment and tried to get it to write the script for me so I could understand what I was missing… I couldn’t quite figure out how to look. Eventually, I will become more proficient. I appreciate your generous helping hand.
Warmest regards
Scott
Thank you Scott,
but the worst part for the documentation is that messages are not only lacking in the documentation but also from what the widget provides for the documentation in a file “api.lcdoc”
That file is the the automatically created documentation for the dictionary etc. if and when the author cares to document e.g. messages in the widget script itself.
Only properties are documented. The author could have easily added documentation for “messages”.
I post it here for LC to see where a problem with the widget documentation might come from.
Taken from “api.lcdoc” for “com.livecode.widget.simplelist” from the bundle of “LiveCode Create 1.0 (DP 7).app”:
