macOS Adding Search Functionality - Dashcode

[davidjearly]

Hi,

Quite a simple request I think. Here's hoping someone can help.

I have a simple RSS Widget created in Dashcode that grabs an RSS feed and displays it in Dashboard.

All I want to do is implement a search field on the face of the widget so that I can search the articles displayed from the feed for particular search terms.

I know that using the Library in Dashcode, I can drag the search field onto the widget, but I am unsure how to set the code to work.

Any help, please?

David

When you use the inspector to change onsearch, type in there search(event); and it works

Ok, so one more question!

How can I create a hyperlink from a graphic or text object within dashcode. E.G. If I have a text box containing 'www.mywebsite.com', how can I make it so that when I click on this it goes to that site?

Thanks, David
