Re: Confused with code behaviour

Following on from my original code posting, I've found another 'funny'. With this Button code: Button biasBox1 { this, background = white, isCheckbox = true, checked = true, position = { 351, vCheckTop };   bool OnKeyDown(Key key, unichar ch) { if(key == down) { form1.biasMovement(1, 'd'); } if(key ...

Re: Confused with code behaviour

I'm not exactly sure of the behavior you're looking for, but I imagine the biggest problem in the code you pasted is the fact that you're missing 'break' statements for the higher level case statements of the switch(upDown) in selectionMovement(). This fixed it. Ah, the quirks of different language...

Confused with code behaviour

Sorry Jerome, I'm here again... I know it's not your job to help me debug my programs, but I'm struggling to work out what's going on with some sample code I've created; I can only guess that it's my lack of knowledge about the underlying gui code that's the problem. Either that or I've made a simpl...

Re: Control layer

Thanks, Jerome.

My apologies, but I hadn't realised the ide was only 2MB in size - I had visions (and memories) of compiling apps on the *BSDs, which often consisted of a few days cursing and swearing... :o

Re: Control layer

Thanks, Jerome.

It would be nice if you could possibly provide an exe; the laptop I'm using for development is ancient and very short on HDD space... and if I made a mess it would also hold up what is taking me far too long to do already. :oops:

Re: Control layer

You can set 'fullRender = true' on the parent form to work around this issue That got it, thanks. On a related note though this sounds like a different path than the 2 options I was proposing regarding checkboxes together with listboxes. I'm scared to hear about the new problems you will discover i...

Re: TAB order

Ah yes, my stupidity strikes again :oops:

I had tabCycle set on the children but not on the parent.

D'oh! :roll:

Control layer

I have another oddity, but this might be down to my misunderstanding... I have placed a checkbox on top of a listbox, and the listbox is set inactive but visible. If I click the listbox behind the checkbox, the checkbox disappears unless I move the cursor to where the checkbox is, in which case it b...

Re: TAB order

Hi Jerome, I've just hit another issue with tabs, although perhaps there is an alternative to the way I've done things in order to avoid the problem...? In order to split my UI into related parts, I used child windows for groups of controls on a single parent. I have now noticed that when tabbing fr...
