1. win32lib question

hi everyone,
I have a Win32Lib program that uses some editboxes for input, then I go
back to the same window to use it for different input from the same
boxes, I even clear them with setText(whatever,"")first, but it totally
ignores my new input and gives me the original input... what am I doing
wrong?
thanks,
Dan

When you get a problem like this, try cutting it down to the bare
essentials & see if it still goes wrong. It can be daunting with a big
program, I know, but I've done that many times & always learnt
something from it, often not even slightly associated with the
immediate problem.
(Obviously I mean make a copy of your program then start deleting
100's of lines from the copy, not the original, or, if you think it
will be quicker, write a test program from scratch.)
If you get it down to say 30 lines of code & it still doesnt work,
post that here. (Paste it into the message rather than use
attachments).
Also, check which version of win32lib you are using; I've been bitten
by that before now. Check for different versions in the directory you
are editing in and C:/euphoria/include. In any case, it helps for us
to know.

Dan,
When you say that it ignores your new input, do you mean the EDITBOX doesn't
accept your new input, or the RESULT of putting new stuff in the editbox
doesn't get to wherever you want it to go?
In other words, when you go back to the window with the editbox, is the
editbox cleared as you intended, or does it still have the same text in it?
If it's cleared, and you can enter new text into it, then something about
how you are getting the text from it and then using it is probably wrong;
if it's not cleared, then something about how you're clearing it is wrong
(in which case, can you hilight the existing text by holding the mouse
button down & dragging it over the first text, then type new text in and
have it be accepted?).
And, a quick sample demonstrating the problem would help us help you, too.

Sub-Menus?
Do you mean a menu in a menu ?
That can be done by :
constant
FileMenu = create( Menu, "&File", MenuWin, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ),
MenuNew = create( MenuItem, "&New", FileMenu, 0,0,0,0,0 ),
TXTDOC = create( MenuItem, "&Text-Document",MenuNew,0,0,0,0,0),
BMPDOC = create( MenuItem, "&Bitmap",MenuNew,0,0,0,0,0)
Bye,
PQ
