Having some trouble with choose tool

Hi,
maybe i'm doing something wrong but:
When i have an image and do some drawing on it by "choose Brush tool" or "Choose pencil tool"
Then afterwards doing "choose Browse tool" or send "choose browse tool" to me in 1 tick does not work
i've tested choose Browse tool in
on mouseLeave (same with on mouseUp)
choose browse tool
end mouseLeave
on mouseEnter (same with on mouseDown)
choose brush tool
end mouseEnter
but most of the time it does not return to the Browse tool, it looks like it hangs in an undefined state
Then i have to actually click the Browse tool in the Tools Pane to get it in that state
in LC8.1.6 in LC8.1.7rc3 in LC9.0DP9
In short: switching between browse tool or a paint tool and back is not working ok
am i doing something wrong or is it simply not possible?

Hi,
Mouseenter and mouseleave are only sent with browse tool.
Put your btns tool in a an other stack or substack, set the name of this stack to "mypaintTools" (or what you want) and type in messagebox
and it should work
but this stack is not editable
Use the topLevel command to display the stack in an editable window.
Best regards

Thanks Jim i will try some.
I'm trying to get it in a single stack only, so not floating over substacks.
**edit**
thanks for pointing me to palette, maybe it's useful, not sure yet.

I tried to do it in one stack
It is possible to use mousemove
Not sure that is a good way. I think that an other stack is better
Here is a stack using mousemove to do what you describe

Merci Beaucoup Jean-Marc!
i will check it out.
***edit***:
I like it very much!
How i did it, on mouseLeave did not work stable.
But your group aproach works flawless, also seeing the way how you programmed it gives me some more insights on how to handle such a thing.
Still learning a lot in these years.
Thanks a lot!

Hi
I persist to think that palette stack for tools is better, but you maybe have good reasons to do this in one stack without substack. If that is the case I'm interesting to know more about it.
1. It avoid using mousemove to set the current tool
2. It will be easier to move a palette tools than a group tools
3. Once you have made your tools palette you can using it for others apps
4. ...
Best regards

Hi Jim
the idea is to have an image(svg), which in fact can be anything which you want to use as a background.
Then on that image i want to move (grab) other small images, this is working.
I also want to annotate on that image or around the smaller images, that also works.
But i also want to move the image again and be able to delete the annotations(small drawings).
And i want to use this program on a multitouch screen...i have a few ideas that may help me as a startup so i can make some extra income and get started with a indy or bussiness LC version.
And since Livecode does not support multi touch support for windows (while this is natively present since windows7) i'm stuck with only single touch thus simple mouse.
So no zooming possible with 2 fingers, no scrolling with fingers, no other gestures possible.
So i have to be able to get it done with mouse commands for windows...but we have also with Android built in and now we have multitouch available. But did not test it yet. Unfortunately for any system/OS you have ideas but one works on a OS but not on the othre and vice versa.
Not that i own these screens, i repair them. So i have direct access to these big 4K touch screens (resolution 3840x2160) and can test some things on how it reacts. That's why i want one single stack and never have have a possibility that a floating stack gets behind the main stack. (maybe that's preventable)
It's really time to get multi touch support for Windows

Hi,
So no zooming possible with 2 fingers
Yes, you're right but you can work around using a resize box.
You maybe may (no tested) use a mousedown with one param pMouseButtonNumber ( 1,2 or 3)
Code: Select all
on mouseDown pMouseButtonNumber -- show popup menu on Control/Right-click
put "doMyZoomIn,doMyZoomOut" into tAllMessages
put item pMouseButtonNumber of tAllMessages into tOneMessage
repeat until the mouse is up
send tOneMessage to me in 1 milliseconds
end repeat
end mouseDown
on doMyZoomIn
-- do your resize message
end doMyZoomIn
on doMyZoomOut
-- do your resize message
end doMyZoomOut
no scrolling with fingers
You may use rawkeydown for that
Code: Select all
local sCurScrollGr
on mouseenter
put "scrollgroup1" into sCurScrollGr
degrCadreME sCurScrollGr
end mouseenter
on rawkeydown pRawKey
put "65309,65308" into tLesK
if pRawKey is in tLesK then
put 24 into tEmpan
if sCurScroll <> empty then
if the mouseloc is within the rect of group sCurScrollGr then
if pRawKey = 65308 then
put tEmpan into tSec
end if
if pRawKey = 65309 then
put (0-tEmpan) into tSec
end if
set the vscroll of group sCurScrollGr to (the vscroll of group sCurScrollGr)+tSec
end if
end if
else
pass rawkeydown
end if
end rawkeydown
floating stack gets behind the main stack. (maybe that's preventable)
That doesn't happen with a palette stack

Thanks Jim.
for the first one, maybe mouseStillDown is better because in most case there is no keyboard available to hold the ctrl key and then click/touch, just a touch screen. (other programs do that too, holding your finger on the screen for a while pops up a menu, just like right mouseclick on the desktop.)
Also the pinch lesson is perfect for this, works great on android, so i can test this with one of the screens(which also has android) and see if it behaves the same as on my phone, and this hoepfully would work the same for windows in combination with the code you've written.
For the second where can i find those rawkeynr's ?
i've searched but maybe in the wrong place.
I tried to capture them, hoping that a touch would present a keynr:
http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.ph ... 88#p159207 but there was nothing given (perhaps i did it not in the good way)
I will do some testing the comming week with your suggestions.
Thanks a lot, and i'll let you know how it reacts.
