Calling the method editor from the designer props on a mac

Classic Servoy

Hi,

I saw Bob Cusick open an onAction method in the Editor by control clicking in the Properties panel. I can’t seem to do this on my mac – not by holding any of the modifier keys.

Please tell me there is a way to do this…?

Thanks,

Andrew

Apparently, this feature disappeared with the latest version of Java (J2SE 5.0). Hopefully, it will return.

You may be able to ‘downgrade’ to Java 1.4.2, and the feature returns. Or wait, and maybe Apple or Servoy or someone will sort it out.

Mac is always a bit dodgy with the ctrl-key as at some point in time they decided to make the ctrl-key a right click instead of adding a button to the mouse/touchpad. Having said that I spoke to one of our engineers and we concluded it would make sense to make it command-click on mac as everything ctrl in general is command on mac. It will appear in beta3. Until then try this on mac: highlight the righthandside box of the property then press ctrl-command and click (just once!), voila.

ps. if you are on mac get an Intel one, Servoy screams on it!

Thanks, Jan! :D

My resistance to upgrading to Java 5 just evaporated…

Jeez, the only thing you don’t have to do is pat your head and rub your belly. How did you stumble on this combo Jan? Drunk one night and a bit fat fingered? :lol:

Nice to have this one back!
