Easier way to open Object Properties Dialog?

Hi guys,
To display the object properties of an object, you can double-click on the corresponding object. For buttons, display objects, HTML etc. this is not possible. In this case you have to use the rather cumbersome way via the Form Object List, search for the object etc.
Can you make it so that when you click on an object with the middle mouse button, the dialog object properties will open? This would greatly simplify the editing of objects.

Hi amit,
That's an excellent idea! As I like to work in the least complicated way possible, here's what you are looking for.
All you have to do is paste this JavaScript in the (Setup->) Header field.
Middle-click on an object: Will open the "Object Properties" dialog.
Middle-click not on an object (html body etc): Will open the "Form Properties" dialog.
Code: Select all
function getObjIdFromId(id) {
if (id !== null) {
var f = window.nuSERVERRESPONSE;
var objId;
for (var i = 0; i < f.objects.length; i++) {
if (f.objects[i].id == id) {
objId = f.objects[i].object_id;
return objId;
}
}
}
return null;
}
function handleMiddleClick(e) {
if (window.global_access) {
if (e.button === 1) {
var id = e.target.id;
if (id == "nubody" || id == "nuRECORD" || id == "nuhtml") {
// Form Properties
nuForm('nuform', window.nuFORM.getCurrent().form_id, '', '', 2);
} else {
var objId = getObjIdFromId(e.target.id);
if (objId !== null) {
// Object Properties
nuForm('nuobject', objId, '', '', '2');
}
}
}
}
}
function nuOnLoad() {
document.addEventListener("mousedown", handleMiddleClick, false);
}
