Well, that is a huge difference. ;-) setText *always* works. It works
when you use it in initDialog(). It is just that after you have set it,
the ooDialog framework sets it back to "".
Here is the internal flow in the framework when you invoke the execute
method:
execute()
framework configures some basic stuff
framework gets the OS to create the underlying dialog
framework does some other work needed to get the dialog running
framework invokes initDialog() in your Rexx dialog
initDialog() executes and you do whatever
initDialog() ends ...
control returns to the framework
framework checks some other stuff
framework sets all the controls to values unless auto detection is off
framework returns control to execute()
execute() regains control and runs until the underlying dialog is closed
So, in your dialog where ever you invoked setText() it was *after* control
returned to execute().
Meaning it was after the framework sets all the controls to values.
If you set the controls in initDialog(), or any other method invoked from
initDialog(), the framework will change the values of many of those
controls after you return from initDialog().
