EditorGadget EventType 256

[dige]

Hi folks,

currently supports the EditorGadget() only the event: #PB_EventType_Change
But I need some more, especially the event: #PB_EventType_Focus

I found out, if I click into an inactive Editor Gadget, it sends the EventType = 256.
What is it? Can I use it safely?

Code: Select all

  If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 322, 150, "EditorGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
    EditorGadget(0, 8, 8, 306, 133)
    Repeat
      Event = WaitWindowEvent()
      If Event = #PB_Event_Gadget
        Debug EventType()
      EndIf
    Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
  EndIf

It's not safe if it's not documented.

This request just won't go away. Your discovery will give Fred heartburn.. or the rest of us if we use it.

If you're on Windows, a safe way for the present would be to subclass the editorgadget and respond to #WM_SETFOCUS and #WM_KILLFOCUS in your subclass proc. I'm not sure why the team hasn't done this for the editor gadget, it's done for the string gadget already but nowhere else.
