Ok, here are partes of the Form2 Event handler. I am trying
to figure out why my list is not being updated properly.
If I backspace, deleting characters, in Form2 Edit field,
the list is not updated to show those deletions. If I
backspace, then add a char, those added chars are shown
in the correct location.
If I backspace twice and add one character ('6') only the single
character position is affected (ie. was: 1234, is: 1264)
The deleted characters 'are' deleted in the listArray.
// listchoices are setup correctly in Form1 OpenForm event
// code fragment for Form2 Event handler
case frmOpenEvent:
FrmDrawForm(frm2Ptr);
// gets string from list Array and puts in edit field on Form2
PutFieldText(fldEdit, listArrayPtr[index]); // my function
FrmSetFocus(frm2Ptr, FrmGetObjectIndex(frm2Ptr, fldEdit));
handled = 1;
break;
case ctlSelectEvent:
if(event->data.ctlEnter.controlID == btnOK) {
// gets string from edit field and puts in listArray.
GetFieldText(listArrayPtr[index], fldEdit); // my function
FrmReturnToForm(Form1);
form = FrmGetFormPtr(Form1); // form declared elsewhere
listP = FrmGetObjectPtr(form, FrmGetObjectIndex(form, lstEdit));
LstDrawList(listP);
handled = 1;
break;
}
Any clue why the list is only updated when chars are added but
not deleted? Hope I havn't made any typos. It acts as though
the list element is not erased but rather just overwritten,
with new data, less the '\0'.
