- Sub: EditText Fields-Modal Dialogs
-
- Hello,
- I am working in the beta version of the new MacApp 2.0 and am experiencing
- some rather vexing problems. I have several modal dialogs up which contain
- Edit Text Boxes (TYPE TEditText). Everything is fine until one attempts to
- enter some text into one of these things at which point the application dies a
- horrible death. As far as I can tell I am following the example laid out in
- the DemoDialogs sample program in the "Format Dialog" which contains exactly
- the same elements as mine (1 Static Text, 1 Edit Text, 2 Buttons, OK & Cancel,
- set up as default etc.). Also, as in DemoDialogs, I am making the dialog from
- a template; the dialog will come up & can be dismissed as long as no text is
- entered to the Edit Text field (which comes up selected via the method
- SelectEditText). Here's the real kicker: I decided on a whim, to make the
- dialog modeless, just to see if that would change anything and the Edit Text
- field will now accept text. This modelessness is not really acceptable so I
- would like to know how to make these fields work in modal DLOG's. I am
- wondering whether segment mappings might be at the root of this simply beacause
- I am doing everything else exactly the same as DemoDialogs, which works
- (modally). If anyone out there knows anything about this, I would really
- appreciate some information.
