I must say that there's good progresses from OZK and FNA :-) The display and erasing of the mouse is much better (comparing to 963 version). The selectable, and non-exitable buttons are better handled (with 963, you had to double click to select those buttons). Globally, things are much better. I noticed a problem that I had already talked about in this mailing list, though. The objc_edit(...,ED_END) that should erase the editable field cursor when pressing up or down arrow keys, is not erasing the cursor. You press the up or down arrow key when you want to go from an editable field to another. Then the cursor becomes active in another editable field and is erased in the previous field. The system call objc_edit(...,ED_END) should erase the cursor, but it doesn't with XaAES. It should erase the cursor by redrawing the editable object that is concerned. With XaAES, it does something. In fact, I noticed that objects around the editable field are erased (they should remain unmodified ...). So, objc_edit() does something. But it does it wrong ... I'm sure that not many people noticed this problem. In fact it only happens when you handle boxes yourself, and that you don't use form_do() system call. This is the way that I have usual boxes, but multitasking friendly, with my Eureka software. That's peculiar ... But that's a very tricky problem. You would never know which field you are editing ! I hope that I'm clear enough in my explanations. Best regards, -- François LE COAT Author of Eureka 2.12 (2D Graph Describer, 3D Modeller) http://eureka.atari.org mailto:lecoat@atari.org
