I have a window with lots of edit fields, labels and radio buttons, and a Cancel and Save button.
When I hit the enabled Cancel pushbutton, it is not triggering (should just close the window). The Window close red dot however works.
If I move the window a bit on the screen, and then hit Cancel, it triggers!
Anyone has seen this behaviour, where is the bug?
Please provide more information - Xojo version, target OS, code in button Action handler, does a breakpoint in the handler fire…
A sample project would be best. No, we don’t want your big project. Re-create the issue in a small issue-only project.
It’s an exercise in debugging as well. You may discover the cause during the process. However, I tend to find that if you cannot recreate the issue, the problem is your code.
Hi Julia & Tim
Not necessary, I found it by playing around: I had in the pushbutton the ‘Cancel’ slider on. Figured, since I cancel the input of the user it makes senes. But with turning that off it behaved like I want, as a normal push button, like the ‘Save’ button.
This behaviour of buttons I wasn’t aware of…
The Cancel property shouldn’t do anything more than allow the user to activate the button with the Escape key. I haven’t ever seen that prevent mouse actions.
Indeed strange. Thanks anyway.
