Hi there,

there is a small bug with the string box, whichis unreproducible unfortunately. :-( Sometimes if I type text in one letter begins to write itself in the box until "infinity" and I don't hit that key anymore. In other words it looks like that I would hold the key down forever but in fact I don't do it.

Did you also encounter this issue? I hope that you know what I mean ... (BTW: this sentence reminds me of a song by OASIS, one of the best bands ever :D )

Greetings and good night
Micha

Hello Clyde!
I agree with you about the Oasis :D , i like them too

I've noticed this bug but sincerily I can't understand why sometimes it comes, I should look closer the input routine, btw in these day I'm rewriting a part of the StringBox code to achive the following goals:

    - Instead of polling the keyboard continuosly the input will be handled by an event handler (more system friendly, and less CPU time used)
    - Gadgets can be selected/activated using the keyboard (Left/Right for navigation trough the available gadgets, Enter to activate like a left mouse button event)
    - You can interact with all other gadgets without hitting Enter to exit from the StringBox (like you have asked :wink: )
    - New event for the StringBox when the user type a character, something like OnKeyPress


With this new routines the bug you have noticed will disappear for sure, at least I hope it :D

Hi Fabio,

a user at the Amiga Resistance (Tipsi) seems to found another bug, which I can confirm: The MaxLen parameter doesn't work here (ScuiLib 0.5). We tried to set MaxLen = 6, but you can enter much more than 6 characters. Same thing for MaxLen = 1, = 20, ...

Can you confirm (and solve :-D) that? Thanks!

Sure, no problem:
Code:
scui.NewObject( #IFOCLASS_STRINGBOX,
                  "Feld-X",
                  { x =  26, y = 191 },
                  { x =  69, y =  17 },
                  nil,                     
                  { Values = { "" }, Lines = 1,
                    InputType = #GETKEY_NUMERIC,
                    MaxLen    = 6 },
                  { OnChange = p_FeldXWechsel } )
