TEXT
Make an Edit Field acting like a button
If you are talking about static text, then there is an easy solution. Just get a Rect that surrounds the text and check FN PTinRect every time there is a mouse click in your widow to see if it was hit. You should definatly provide some feedback that the text is being clicked -- change the color or something. The code will look something like this: (off the top of my head-- so it may not be completely correct)
MyClicked=_false
LONG IF FN PTINRECT (Pt, Rect) 'User Has Clicked Text
WHILE FN Button 'While they hold down the mouse they can still change there mind
CALL GETMOUSE (MyPoint) 'Check New Mousepoint
LONG IF FN PTINRECT (MyPoint, Rect) 'Is it still in Text's Rect
LONG IF Not MyClicked 'Don't Need to hilite if it already is Hilite Text
MyClicked=_zTrue
END IF
XELSE 'No longer in Rect-- need to unhilite text
LONG IF MyClicked 'Don't Need to UnHilite if it already is Show Text Normally
MyClicked=_false
END IF
END IF
WEND
LONG IF MyClicked
' Was clicked-- do your stuff
XELSE
'--User changed Mind -- don't react
END IF
This may seem like a lot of work for a simple hit test-- but on the mac we must always give the user a chance to change their mind.
