I have a scrollable field which has values loaded from a database. How do I determine which line is of the scrollable field is selected when the user doubleclicks the mouse.

I know if have to use the mouseDoubleUp. From here I am totally clueless how to retrieve what the user selects.

Thanks for any help!

You're looking for the 'hilitedLine' property.

Code: Select all

on mouseDoubleUp
  put the hilitedLine of me into tHilitedLine
  put line tHilitedLine of me into tHilitedText
  answer "You doubleclicked on line" && tHilitedLine && \
      "with content:" & return & tHilitedText
end mouseDoubleUp

HTH,
