OnClick Event

[#1]

I have a text object (TX1) that has a bunch of Action attached to it. I need to have another text object (TX2) that does everything that TX1 does and a few more actions. Instead of replicating all the actions of TX1 into TX2 I thought I could just get TX2 to 'click' TX1. But I can't seem to get it working. Activate Object seems to just highlight the object.

Hi Leo,

Can explain your last line a bit more?

". Instead of replicating all the actions of TX1 into TX2 I thought I could just get TX2 to 'click' TX1. But I can't seem to get it working. Activate Object seems to just highlight the object."

For example:

click on TX1 >> change color to green, hide some objects, show other objects.

click on TX2 >> [change color to green, hide some objects, show other objects] + show/hide some other object.

I dont want to replicate the Actions in TX2, I just want TX1 to be  automatically 'clicked' when TX2 is actually cliked

You could use button instead, and try with macro like:

     ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("BU01").Press

You can achieve it only through the Macro. Button won't support such kind of actions as per my concern.

There is a high cost associated with this kind of shortcut. For example, the macro probably won't work in an AJAX-client as UI manipulations from VBScript aren't supported.

Maybe you better take the object duplication route?

What's the benefit of having Text 2 click Text 1? I don't get it. If it's just to save time creating Text 2, then just copy and paste TEXT 1 and add the extra bits to it..

I guess copying will be most efficient. It's a bit hard to explain, but I need to work with multiple levels tabs.

I tires using Container objects, but they are very difficult to work with, especially if you have one inside of the other and if you need to have things like lines together with other objects.

I already have a few buttons that do a lot of actions, I thought that if I could have another button that 'clicks' the button with many actions, it will be simpler to maintain.
