NoEvents Property

Syntax

set the noEvents of <shape> to <boolean> Applies to shapes

Description

NoEvents is a shape property that, when true, causes a shape to ignore mouse events as if the object were hidden. Mouse messages are sent to the object immediately beneath the shape, if any. If noEvents is true, a shape will not be highlighted automatically, even if the shape's autoHilite property is true.

Examples

on mouseUp beep end mouseUp Click on the shape while in Browse mode; the computer beeps. Type the following in the Message Box and press Enter: set the noEvents of shape "test" to true Click on the shape again. The computer does not respond with a beep because the noEvents property has prevented the shape from receiving the mouseUp message.
