Please be sure that you are familiar with Button Example 1 before proceeding with Example 3 of this section.
Custom Button Example 3 - Enter key
Another example is presented that can be used with the "Empty" button. This script results in a button that will take the place of the Enter key. It can be used on computers that are not equipped with Enter keys, or it can be installed on a text window simply for convenience.
Note : you can alternately use the combination ctrl-C as a substitute to the Enter key.
Note : this button script requires that Sigma’s Additions (osax) be installed in the "HD: System Folder: Extensions: Scripting Additions folder." At the time of the writing of this help file, this osax could be obtained at :
type text (ASCII character 3) --( ASCII character 3) for Enter key
set name of theButton to "Enter-key"
end mouseUp
----------------------------
Follow these steps to try the above script.
1. -click on "Empty Button" to open to its script window.
2. Enter the script as follows. (Retype, use copy and paste, or drag-and-drop.)
----------------------------
on mouseUp(theButton)
(Your custom script or Examples)
end mouseUp
----------------------------
3. Press Enter to compile if you have an Enter-key. (If you do not have an Empty-key, skip this step and proceed directly to Step 4.)
4. Close the "Empty Button" script window and click "Yes" from the dialog box.
Run the script by clicking on the button. The button name will change from "Empty button" to "Enter-key." Clicking this button produces the same result as pressing the Enter-key.
If you would like to change the name of the button, you could change script (line 3), or see button for additional information.
