Swtich Button toggle

[MarkoSato]

Hello,

when i click a button I want to show and hide an image. I have this code:

Code: Select all

set the Hilite of the Target to not the Hilite of the Target
   if the Hilite of the Target = true
   then
      set the visible of img "image.png" to true
   else
      set the visible of img "image.png" to false
   end if

and i have "hide img "image.png" on the card script, so that the image is first not visible.

it works finde but I have this little problem. On the first click nothing happens but after the second click every click toggles between hiding and showing the image. I would like the first click directly to show the image. Can someone help? Thanks

Hi Marko,

so you have a "switch button" for this?
Then you need to script: on hiliteChanged, just in case you didn't.

And this one-liner will do what you need:

Code: Select all

on hiliteChanged
   ## Thanks to Mr. Boole we can:
   set the visible of img "image.png" to the hilite of me
end hiliteChanged

"hiliteChanged"? Not in the v9.6 Dictionary. Where can I learn about that message?

[Klaus]

Well, that is the message sent to widget "Switch Button", and also to these widgets:
Navigation bar
Treeview
Segmented Control

I see this in the dictionary of 9.5.1, did not try 9.6 yet.

Create a "Switch button", open its script editor and you will see it on the left side
as the only entry in the build-in handler list.

Are we sure this is about a widget? I thought it was about a button.

Thanks, Klaus. I had my Dict open to the "LiveCode Script" default; like Craig, I had thought the question here was about a button.

[Klaus]

Yes, but a "Switch Button" (widget).

Hey, sry my bad for not knowing the right terms. No, I have a normal button (I didn't know there is a thing like "switch button")

[Klaus]

Hola Marko,

OK, but only a RADIOBUTTON or a CHECKBOX has a (permanent) hilite property.
So what do you mean with -> ...the hilite of the target?
Or did you uncheck the "autohilite" property of your (normal) button?
