This isn't true; you can: txt = dabo.ui.dTextBox(frm, OnMouseLeftClick=myLeftClickFunc) or with any other Dabo event. > On one last note, I think that you should make the dTextBox read only. > Coming from a correct code standpoint, if the users are entering the > dTextBox value through the dFileDialog, you should never want them to > type in the dTextBox directly.

As a user I appreciate being able to enter text freely as well as being able to press a button to pick an item. For getting files and directories, it is *much faster* for me to type '~/my_file.txt' than it is to bring up a dialog and use the mouse to navigate to it. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
