Actually your first example was excellent. However, I was not aware of
this behavior
and I think that saying "cancel button name" is deceiving. It is because
"Cancel" button should, in my mind,
mean that the user halted the progression of the script. May be better
documentation would help.
i think I remember that allowing the the "Cancel" button to go its way
would not be appropriate if the system language was not English. There
was a discussion about that a while ago, but I can not remember anything
being decided.
I tested here now and "Cancel" the default button is an "user canceled
action" and so is error number -128
Right at this moment, I'm using 'choose from list' to replicate my
Entourage
email folder list, complete with indentations for subfolders similar to
the
Folder List in the main Entourage window, so that the user can find a
folder
to choose easily. (Similar to Outlook Express.) Adding extra lines in
the
list would mess up this scheme. But I want to give the user the option
to
make a New Folder instead of choosing an existing one. So I've made the
cancel button into a New button, as in Entourage's own Move window, or
as in
the 'choose folder' osax. It calls another handler if pressed (if
result is
false). Of course, I'd really like to have a cancel button as well, so
I'll
probably have to make it into a 'New or Cancel' button. Crummy
workaround.
the two buttons restriction can be a killer.
Soon I'll move over to AppleScript Studio so I can do this properly.
But for
now, 'cancel button name' with 'false' returned gives me this option I
wouldn't otherwise have.
Hope to meet you there too!
