SetGadgetCursor

[milan1612]

I'd love to see SetGadgetCursor (and of course GetGadgetCursor) in the regular gadget library.
Should be easy to implement on all platforms...
Thanks

+1. That would be really a benefit. It should suit to all text input gadgets: ComboBox, Editor, String

Maybe it could look like this:

Code: Select all

SetGadgetCursor(#Gadget,StartCursorPos,[EndCursorPos])
CursorPos.w = GetGadgetCursor(#Gadget,[EndCursorPos])

I think it makes sense to have a start / end position, as you can have a selection.

Ehm, what I ment was the mouse cursor type
e.g. the normal arrow and the hand...

This could be solved via a additional GadgetAttribute, like this:

Code: Select all

SetGadgetAttribute(#Gadget,#PB_Input_CursorType,#PB_Cursor_Default)
SetGadgetAttribute(#Gadget,#PB_Input_CursorType,#PB_Cursor_Hand)

CursorType.l = GetGadgetAttribute(#Gadget,#PB_Input_CursorType)

That would keep the commandset as big as it already is.

So my concern could look the same way, of course:

Code: Select all

SetGadgetAttribute(#Gadget,#PB_Input_CursorPosStart,StartPos.w)
SetGadgetAttribute(#Gadget,#PB_Input_CursorPosEnd,EndPos.w)

StartPos.w = GetGadgetAttribute(#Gadget,#PB_Input_CursorPosStart)
EndPos.w = GetGadgetAttribute(#Gadget,#PB_Input_CursorPosEnd)

What about this idea?

Looks fine for me

And of course some cursor commands like createcursor(), loadcursor(), copycursor() etc

I would also love this, but this probaly won't happen unless someone codes a DLL... PC, Mac and Linux cursor commands are too different. (Well the older ones were in 1995!)
