Messages within Groups? - Solved

Post by DR White » Sat Feb 18, 2017 3:38 pm

I have attached a sample stack.

I don't understand why the group message does not work when I click on the light blue field.
Maybe, someone can tell me why.

Appreciate any explanation.

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

just tested your stack and it seems to work as exspected!?

I click on "Severity" then the field "Severity Choice" appears,
I click on one of the three lines and the clicked text appears
in field "Severity Data".

What do I miss?
macOS 10.12.3, LC 9 dp4


Best

Klaus,

I am using LC 8.1 RC3

macOS Sierra 10.12.2

When I click on the light blue area, nothing happens.

I am downloading LC 9 DP 4 now.

Ah, now I get it!

The field "Severity Data", the one with the VERY light blue background,
is NOT locked, so it does not receive any "mouseXX" messages!

Set its LOCKTEXT to true and that's it!

Even using LC 9 DP 4, When I click on the light blue part of the group, the flied "SeverityChoice" does NOT become visible. If I click on the gray part of group, it becomes visible.

Klaus,

You are Awesome.

That took care of it. I had been beating my head for a couple hours.

Thanks so much,

David
