Bug? SetGadgetText on EditorGadget

[kenmo]

Windows 7, PB 5.62 x86

On an EditorGadget, SetGadgetText(0, #CRLF$) inserts a newline instead of replacing all the text with a newline.

Bug?

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 320, 240, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
EditorGadget(0, 0, 0, 320, 240)

SetGadgetText(0, "First text!")
SetGadgetText(0, "Hello" + #CRLF$ + "World!") ; overwrites previous text
SetGadgetText(0, #CRLF$) ; does not overwrite previous text !!!

Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

I can confirm the same behavior here (Win 10 PB5.62) a newline is being inserted on top
Looks like a bug to me

i have a bunch of inputs in a program
and each input has Help text

i use only 1 EditorGadget to display Help text for a large program
and i clear out the EditorGadget each time as i travel thru the inputs with this

ClearGadgetItems(0)
then another SetGadgetText(0, Txt$) for the next Input's help text
then another
ClearGadgetItems(0) and so on

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 320, 240, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
EditorGadget(0, 0, 0, 320, 240)

Txt$ = "First text!" + #CRLF$ + "Hello" + #CRLF$ + "World!"
SetGadgetText(0, Txt$)
Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

i'm guessing this is what you meant ??

i'm guessing this is what you meant ??

No. The Help says, that SetGadgetText() change the COMPLETE content of the EditorGadget.

So SetGadgetText(EditorGadget, #CRLF$) should clear the EditorGadget and set a blank first line...

SetGadgetText()
i tried that a few years ago it didn't work with previous versions , so i used ClearGadgetItems(0) instead

#CR$ & #LF$ works fine but not #CRLF$
But these are control characters not text if you want to consider this as a bug you have the right to do that

thanks RASHAD , that worked

i was so use to using VB6.0 's vbCRLF i went naturally to PB's #CRLF$

I think it is a bug.

I added SetGadgetText(0, "") before it to clear existing text.

This might seem minor, but it showed up in my program... I couldn't figure out why "old" text was showing up in my output gadget!
