Hi,
I have a notebook with a button in its docked cell. I've been trying
and failing to make it put a message in the status area when you move
the mouse over it, a task that is easy with normal cells.
See the code below, where I've made it clear that the docked cell is
identical to the final cell.
With[{taggedcell=Cell[BoxData[TagBox[StyleBox["Move the mouse over
me!",FontFamily->"Times"],#&, TagBoxNote->"A note in the StatusArea
set by using TagBoxNote"]],"Text"]},
NotebookPut[Notebook[{
Cell["Can DockedCells play nice with the
StatusArea?","Subsubtitle"],
Cell["I want to have a button with a ButtonNote in the docked cell,
but:","Text"],
Cell["As of Version 6.0, the ButtonNote option has been superseded
by the function StatusArea.","Text", Background->LightYellow],
Cell["StatusArea generates a TagBox, so I should first try to get
that working...","Text"],
taggedcell},
DockedCells->{taggedcell}
]]]
Does anyone know a way of doing what I want to do? (or even just
improving the above code?)
Cheers,
Simon
