Attach script to object?

[JoelS 0]

Is there any way to attach a script to a selected object, activated perhaps by a double-click, modifier-click or contextual menu item?

Is there any type of object that supports this behaviour?

Thanks,

Joel.

Not that i've found.

Maybe you could wrap the object inside a PIO

then use buttons in the info palette.

I toyed with that but it's still a level of indirection that takes the immediacy from the interaction.

There might be a good case for a 'control' layer in VW documents that sits above all others, onto which script enabled objects could be placed for the user to manage many drawing-contextual tasks like navigation.

Thanks for your post.

What you are describing sounds like a PIO.

Why not make it a custom object? You can

have it regen (or run the creation code) when

it is move, resized or rotated. If you place

parameters in the OIP you can then make it

totally flexible.

Thanks Patrick, I'll look at it again.
