Open the inspector by script

[Fermin]

Hello, please... Is there a direct way to open by script the inspector of a control (field, graphic etc...) to edit its properties?
I'm trying with 'doMenu' but it doesn't seem to work. Is there any other way?

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   if the optionkey is down then 
      select the target
      doMenu "Object Inspector" of menu "Object"
      exit to top
   end if
   -- etc...
end mouseUp

Thank you very much

I have read something on this forum but I guess there must be something simpler:

Something wrong here:

Oddly enough, while the doMenu command works, something subsequently screws up:

Ok. I think I found a way:

Code: Select all

select menuItem 1 of menu "object" 

instead of:

Code: Select all

doMenu "Object Inspector" of menu "Object"

Ok. I think I found a way:

Then the Documentation needs to be sorted out.

Hi friends,

I Have these scripts in my little personal tools palette to open the inspector for the current card resp. the current stack:

Code: Select all

...
## Card
revIDEOpenInspectorForObjects the long id of this cd of the topstack
...
## Stack 
revIDEOpenInspectorForObjects the long id of the topstack
...

Hope that helps!

HINT:
This will only work with LC >= 8!


Best

I think this has always worked:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   select menuItem 3 of menu "object"
end mouseUp
