Hi everyone,

After many days of experimenting with no success I wanted to check if anyone knew of a way to display the 'selectedText' of the option selected when the mobile menu displays on a device.

At present I can only get it to show the line number selected!

I've tried various permutations of the following code but with no success!

Grateful for any help,

Many thanks,

Glenn

Code: Select all

on mouseup
   
   put the colorNames into tColorNames
   
   mobilePick tColorNames
   put the result into tChosen
   answer tChosen -- this just gives the line number selected, not the name!
   
   -- no success with these!
   #answer the clickText of tChosen
   #answer the selectedText of tChosen
   
   
end mouseup

Hi Glenn,

well, that's the way MOBILEPICK works, if in doubt always consult the dictionary!

Do this:

Code: Select all

...
put the colorNames into tColorNames
mobilePick tColorNames
put the result into tChosen
answer line tChosen of tColorNames
...

Best

Klaus

Dear Klaus,

I've spent literally days trying to achieve by trial and error what you've elegantly solved so concisely!

Many thanks again,

Kind regards,
