Hi,

can someone please explain:

in a simple button this works:

if the hilited of widget"switch" then
   put "localport=" into sPort
   put fld"addthis" after sPort
else
   put "program=" & quote into sPort
   put fld"addthis" & quote after sPort
end if

but in the widget itself this similair code is not working:

Code: Select all

on hiliteChanged
    if the hilited of me then
      set the visible of widget "hithere" to true
else
    set the visible of widget "hithere" to false
  end if
end hiliteChanged

already tried hilite and highlight, which does not help

when you use the standard code "put the hilited of me" then it show true or false so that's ok

So from another button it seems to work using the hilite of it
but in the widget itself not

Using LC8.1 stable

Any suggestions on this?

Thanks a lot!

Your script works here as it should. I used a clock-widget (named "hithere") for testing.

do not code when you're tired

If I followed that rule I'd never get anything done.

i know what you mean, especially when your searching for a solution and know you're almost there and your whole systems tells you 'go to sleep' but you still go on and on and on....eyes like this
