newScrollbar

Type

message

Summary

Sent to a new scrollbar right after it's created.

Syntax

newScrollbar

Description

Handle the newScrollbar message if you want to create additional objects, switch tools, or do other tasks when a new scrollbar is created.

Normally, the newScrollbar message is handled at a higher level of the message path, since the newly-created scrollbar does not yet have a script unless the templateScrollbar contains one.

The actual creation is not triggered by the newScrollbar message, so trapping the message and not allowing it to pass does not prevent the scrollbar from being created.

Examples

on newScrollbar -- store its ID in a custom property of the card
  set the storedID of this card to the ID of the target
end newScrollbar
