newWidget
Type
message
Summary
Sent to a new widget right after it's created.
Syntax
newWidget
Description
Handle the newWidget message if you want to create additional objects, switch tools, or do other tasks when a new widget is created.
Normally, the newWidget message is handled at a higher level of the message path, since the newly created widget does not yet have a script.
The newWidget message is sent after the widget is created, so trapping the message and not allowing it to pass does not prevent the widget from being created.
Examples
on newWidget -- set tooltips of new widgets
set the tooltip of the target to the kind of the target
end newWidget
