- Dear Gordon,
-
- I recently transfered my application from b9 to final and had similar problems
- like yours.
-
- >5) Rendering of StaticText has changed so that underlying area is not erased.
-
- Because I don´t like to override TStaticText (I would also also to override to
- TOpaqueEditText, TOpaqueNumberText, and my other descendants from TEditText) I
- used another workaround: I created in the view resource a TPattern area with
- only a white pattern behind the TStaticText.
-
- For the future I would prefer a TStaticText class which uses a fIsTransparent
- field for drawing (the changes are very easy). This field should be initialized
- by the view description.
-
- Another problem exist with TStaticTexts for small texts (one letter or so). MA
- final sets the minimum width to 20 pixel. Specialy with right justified texts
- this behaviour generates strange layouts. These TStaticTexts grows by magic to
- the right and often slip behind the following TEditText.
-
- >6) TPopup no longer calls DoChoice if the same item is re-selected.
- >This broke part of our application which uses a descendant of TPopup for
- >pull-down menus. Fix was to set fCurrentItem to 0 after DoChoice.
-
- I also use TPopup for pull-down menus in a window. But I overrode already
- DoMouseCommand to call SetCurrentItem (0, kDontRedraw) before PopUpMenuSelect,
- because pull-down menus should always pop down and don´t need a checkmark at
- last selected item.
-
- Sincerly,
- Tommi GESSL
