Okay, I see that's actually a variable and not a #define, ALL_CAPS threw me, so that takes care of that. What I'm after is to reduce duplication and ease use of the frame work by apps while having widgets function in an intuitive way. The changes I made fixed the way check list boxes work (or browsers for fltk) and supported all existing features of the list boxes. It also fixed the input widgets to handle limiting input with a simple paramter setting (part was already there but needed to be expanded to other controls and fix so users setting values are also limited and combo boxes selections from being too long). _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
