How do I turn the mouse on?

[Luna]

Hello e-primers,

I have copied a bit of the script for the gender array selection box
from the main script to use for a list of provoking comments to sent
to an 'opponent'. Although, one can use the mouse to select the
gender, in my array of choices, the mouse is not usable. As a result,
one has to scroll through the list of comments using the up and down
keys on the keyboard, which is really not sophisticated. I want my
program to look sophisticated, of course. Can anyone help? I've tried
copying the code that initiates the mouse, but that did not work.

Thanks very much.

Hi,
It's pretty simple, I just found out myself! Just go to edit>experiment>devices>mouse edit properties, set show cursor to true. Once you don't want to show the cursor any more, just have an inline saying Mouse.ShowCursor false
Cheers,
Mich

Surely there's a way, but I haven't figured this out.

I can set a variable to refer to a running list:
Dim theList as List
Set theList = CList(Rte.GetObject(c.GetAttrib("Running")))
I also can assign a variable to refer to a list if I know its name
(StimDisplay):
Dim theResponseObject As
RteRunnableInputObject











































Set theResponseObject =
CRteRunnableInputObject(Rte.GetObject("StimDisplay"))











































How can I (or can I) refer to whatever object (text, image, or slide
dispaly) is running during the prerelease time that includes the inline?
I want to be able to move my inline behind any presentation object
with a prerelease so it will run, using attributes of the running
object, without me having to 'hard code' the name of the object each
time I move or copy the inline.

Thanks in advance for any advice or information. I'm still don't
understand much about Ebasic object data types

Sorry, my question got cut off (thought it's in the topic)

I can set a variable to refer to a running list:
Dim theList as List
Set theList = CList(Rte.GetObject(c.GetAttrib("Running")))
I also can assign a variable to refer to a list if I know its name
(StimDisplay):
Dim theResponseObject As
RteRunnableInputObject

How can I know the currently running object so that an inline, running
during it's prerelease, can reference and use it's attributes
(duration, keyboardMask, etc). I want to be able to copy and move an
inline to follow different objects without changing and 'hard coding'
the name of the object in the script each time. (Sorry for the
repeated posting)

Thanks.

PLEASE folks, do *NOT* try to start a new thread by simply doing an
e-mail "reply" to an existing thread and then changing the subject
line!! This just messes up the thread structure of the existing thread
on Google Groups, as you can see for yourself at
http://groups.google.com/group/e-prime/browse_thread/thread/75838ffbbf64a05b
.

Instead, please start a brand new, blank e-mail message, address it to
e-p...@googlegroups.com, and go from there.

I am restoring this thread to Luna's original title of "How do I turn
the mouse on?", and I will try to repost Scott's question under a new
thread.
