Hi Ian & Greg; as always you have been a tremendous help to me. I've asked fltk
questions in the past and you two always step up to help!
I won't be in front of the code again until Monday but I will try the advice
below first thing Monday and see where it leads.
Greg, it is indeed the 'cursor' concept of current_row that I am using in the
draw_cell's context routine that draws the current_row a different color than
all other rows. Our code looks quite similar, I can't see what we've really
done different - I will paste mine Monday if I am still stumped.
As for repeating-keys being disabled on some OS level, holding up/down arrow
key in (i.e.) Excel does have the expected repeating behavior.
I should mention I also am having the same trouble on
Fl_Browser/Fl_Hold_Browser. I am under the assumption -by what you guys have
said- is that the default behavior of Fl_Browser is when it has focus up/down
should understand repeating behavior? I've debugged extensively to make sure
no handlers are returning "1" and blocking this behavior to no avail.
I can't remember my exact fltk lib version I'm compiling with - but will
provide that Monday as well.
PS: Not sure why I wrote "Depressed" instead of "Pressed" everywhere in my
OP... must have been a sad day :)
