[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2766 Version: 1.3-feature David, thanks for the patch. This is a good starting point when it comes to implementing such an enhancement. This is really something that is needed, together with a way to switch "@" symbol substitution on and off, when needed (which is often a problem - maybe a FAQ - and it looks like there isn't a proper way to deal with it). However, I do fully agree with Greg that this is not appropriate as a configure option, for the reasons Greg mentioned in his post in fltk.development [1]. Besides that, I'd rather have the symbol substitution character changeable (at runtime), so that it is not another constant - and in your proposal a non-printing/control character that would be difficult (but not impossible) to handle in strings. I would even go so far that this should be settable per widget (on, off, which character) and not only globally. Another point not to add a new configure option is to avoid having to remove it again later. This would seriously break backwards compatibility. I'd vote -1 for the patch in this form, but think that it is good to add such a feature in the future. ---------------------------------------------------------------- [1] http://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.development+v:12951 Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2766 Version: 1.3-feature _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
