X, Y and Z". the input method can say "well sorry. only got X and Y. too bad. no Z's in stock". so if it is given nonsensical combinations it can just filter them out and choose whatever it feels is best. there are some bitmasks missing there like "URL", and "EMAIL_ADDR", "TERM" and so on (URL entry mode, email address entry mode, terminal type entry (unix terminal, so provide more control chars like a full keyboard if possible) etc. etc.). we can just accept that certain modes in combination make no sense, and anyone requesting input should ONLY set the bits they REALLY want or need and not go setting useless extra bits in case. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enable your software for Intel(R) Active Management Technology to meet the growing manageability and security demands of your customers.
