I working with multiple group boxes on one page in Quark but I am
having problems when I try to unselect them.
It looks like Quark is not unselecting the grouped boxes previous
and then grouping them to the next series of boxes.
What is the proper syntax for unselecting grouped boxes?
It's appropriate to ask for the "proper syntax"
but in same cases using the proper syntax is not the way the get the
desired result.
Scripting Quark requires often a 2 step process.
1. try the proper syntax.
If step 1 fails go to step 2.
2. try tickling, slapping, pleading .........
I have tried the following:
set selected of group box 1 to false
Which is the proper syntax.
set selection to null (however this one I have found will only
work outside of 'tell page 1')
That's what I used with version 6.1 (and 6.5, not sure)
Actually it seems is only a display problem: object on the page
appear selected, but they are not.
For my experience, I agree with Luca, this is true for version 6.52.
"set selected of group box to false" will unselect the box but
display the box selected.
But this proper syntax will fail in version 6.1 (6.5 not sure)
just zooming the page view solve the problem…
Amazing, I'd never tried this. Instead I used "set selection to null
outside the page block.
In version 6.52 you only need to use "set selected of group box 1 to
false".
The free update 6.5 to 6.52 improves scripting a lot!
