I would like to see two additional flags for the string gadget that would allow you to limit the number of characters that can be entered and a flag that would allow the text in the string gadget to be selected when the gadget receives focus.

Currently you have to use Windows API commands like:

Code: Select all

SendMessage_(GadgetID(#String_Gadget), #EM_LIMITTEXT, 15, 0)

SendMessage_(GadgetID(#String_Gadget), #EM_SETSEL, 0, -1)

They may have to be implemented as SetGadgetState() flags.

This would be very nice for cross platform applications.

GetGadgetAttribute() and SetGadgetAttribute() would be perfect to do this

Yes, natively is always preferable to API as then it can be used across platforms.
