SOB – Object – Labels

• it can respond to mouse clicks,
• you can get/set its displayed text
• you can get/set its colour

The following script will a simple label and respond to mouse clicks by changing its colour and its text (title).

newscript
dim myWindow = sob (0, "add","window","Hello World")
function ClickMyWindow ( sobid )
sob ( myWindow, "delete")
quit
End function
sob ( myWindow , "ON" , "CLICK" , "ClickMyWindow" )
dim myMenuBar = sob (myWindow , "add" , "menu" , "bar" )
dim myMenuFile = sob (myMenuBar , "add" , "menu" , "Horizontal" , "File" )
dim myFileExit = sob ( myMenuFile , "add" , "menu" , "Vertical" , "Exit" )
sob ( myFileExit , "ON" , "CLICK" , "ClickMyWindow")
