Hi, I use a few string gadgets (StringGadget) that are all TAB enabled (GA_TabCycle, TRUE). I pre-select (IIntuition->ActivateGadget) the first one and it works but if I press the TAB key, it doesn't go to the next string field. If I click elsewhere then click the first string gadget. The TAB key th...

Hi Thomas,

You're right. Thank you. I was using %l

Have a nice day,

Hello, It seems that IDOS->HexToLong doesn't work always as it should. uint32 l_number; IDOS->HexToLong("0x880800",&l_number); => l_number is: 8 914 944 OK :) uint32 l_number; IDOS->HexToLong("0x88080000",&l_number); => l_number is: -2012741632 ? :( Was waiting for 2 282 ...

Ah okay, I personally always end up having to click twice in that YAM gadget when fine tuning filers, as I'm likely correcting a typo and so don;t want the whole string markded :-) I would recomend sticking to the single activate, double click selected word, tripple click select all operation as ti...

I updated the autodoc to more accurately reflect the current behaviour. (since 2009 or so) * STRINGA_MarkActive (BOOL) (V50) * Mark contents of gadget when it is made active. This * includes the use of ActivateGadget() and friends, * activating via keyboard short cut, and via tab cycling. * When th...

you will see the gadget is marked on startup.

So it does work, but not it seams quite as you want it.

Yes, it works

I'd simply want the content marked (ie; displayed in reverse-video, then when you press a (letter) key it deletes content and replace by this letter). It must be possible because that's how the Workbench rename window works (the window that appears when you select the Workbench menu 'Icons/Rename')...
