To prevent the default menu behaviour of DesktopX when you right click an object insert the command Object_OnRButtonUp = True into the Object_OnRButtonUp(x,y,dragged) function.
Function Object_OnRButtonUp(x,y,dragged) Object_OnRButtonUp = True End Function
You can capture the right clicks of all children of an object by using the Object_OnRButtonUpEx(obj,x,y,dragged) command.
Function Object_OnRButtonUpEx(obj,x,y,dragged) Object_OnRButtonUpEx = True End Function
- Whatever commands you place in the right click function will become the only response to a right click on the object.
- Note that this will also disable the DesktopX Builder right click menu for the objects you place it in.
Accessing script variables in an object from another object[]
To allow other objects to see a variable in another objects script, declare (Dim) the variable outside of all functions and subroutines. You then use the DesktopX.ScriptObject command to access the variable.
Object 1
Dim value1 'this is what I mean by declaring the variable outside of any Sub or Function
'Dimming a variable in this way makes it accessible from all Sub's and Functions in a script
'as well as to other objects.
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
Object.Name = "object1"
value1=20
End Sub
Object 2
Sub Object_OnLButtonUp(x,y,dragged)
value2 = DesktopX.ScriptObject("object1").value1 'this is the DesktopX.ScriptObject usage
MsgBox(value2)
End Sub
If you place the above respective scripts into two new desktopX objects, then click the second one, a message box should appear containing the text "20". This value has been read by object2 from the script-space of object1.
