[Pythoncard-users] actionBindings vs command vs userdata

[Tony C. <cap...@gm...>]

Is there a description or tutorial that shows what these are for and
how to use them?

I want to "fake" the user having clicked on a combo box by manually
triggering the event, but I don't know how.
I'm wondering if I can take advantage of actionBindings or command to
fake the event being triggered.

When I click on an item in the combo box, I want other combo boxes to
be updated. I know how to do this.

But with the initial setting of the main combo box, I will initialize
and manually select the string from my code.
When this happens, I would like the select event handler to be called,
so I want to simulate that event.


Does anyone know how this can be done?

thanks

I can't remember how to do that right off the top of
my head but I believe there is a way to stuff an event
into the event queue...

Is this documented anywhere?
None of the tutorials I've read talk about this. In fact, they
completely leave out a lot of stuff regarding the
resource editor & layout editor capabilities.

Well, as with any volunteer based software project,
the documentation is accurate at the time it was
written - so we all wish.  Pythoncard documentation
and tutorial is already much better than many of the
open-source projects I've seen.

I learned my PythonCard stuff through lots of tear and
sweats - from this mailing list, from reading the code
and examples (and to its credit - there are lots of
examples), experimenting, and sometimes get lucky by
stepping through the code using an interactive
debugger.

But I only know stuff I used.  If I see a question I
know the answer to, I always try to help.  Pythoncard
has helped me tremendously in the last years.  It's
the least I can do for it.
