- Sub: TEditText & SFPutFile -- Help!
-
- Re: SFPutFile-ish TEditText -- Help!
-
- The following appeared in conjunction with some unrelated material:
-
- I need to create what might otherwise be a subclass of TEditText, if a
- TEditText accepted key and menu commands directly. Essentially, for every
- character typed, I need to do something besides display it. I can't find a
- simple way to do this; the only way I've found is to subclass TEditText and
- override StartEdit and StopEdit, creating and installing my own subclass of
- TTEView rather than using the one belonging to the enclosing TDialogView. That
- seems messy, and what's worse, I don't completely understand the logic
- associated with TDialogView and its interaction with TEditText. Can someone
- help? Essentially, what I'd like is something like the SFPutFile implementation
- on 7.0, but with keystrokes showing up in the filename box as they are typed --
- even when the list has the input focus.
-
