I have a stack with a field "text" and a button. (The stack is attached.) The button has the following code in it:
On Windows, the mouse cursor is now at the first character position of the text in field "text" just like you would expect. The "put" statement at the end outputs two identical sets of coordinates.
Can you set the screenMouseLoc on a mobile device? The docs don't say anything about this being read-only on mobile. What am I missing?
CODE:
on mouseup local tTopLeft put the globalloc of the topleft of fld "text" into tTopLeft set itemdel to comma add the margins of fld "text" to item 1 of tTopLeft add (the effective textheight of fld "text" div 2) to item 2 of tTopLeft set the screenmouseLoc to tTopLeft wait 100 milliseconds with messages put tTopLeft && colon && the globalloc of the mouseLocend mouseupBut if I run the same same code on Android, the final "put" statement outputs the position of where the cursor was set, but second set of coordinates, where the cursor actually is, is always where I clicked on the button to run the code.184,136 : 184,136
I've increased the wait time to ridiculous numbers; it doesn't matter. I've also tried running it from a handler where I don't touch the screen to run it, like "orientationChanged". In that case, when I rotate the device to trigger the handler, the mouseloc reports the last place I did touch the screen.8,40 : 134,330
