I am trying to set some text in a text field. The text does get set, no
problem. But odd behavior is displayed with the emulator and the device. If
I set the text "Hello World", the cursor appears at the end of "Hello World"
( expected behavior ). Yet when I type in any character, the cursor jumps to
the beginning of the string. It is like the string is displayed but not held
in the buffer. Here is the code I am using. In this sample, m_pField is a
valid handle...
Thanks for your time..

return;
}
else
{
hText = (Handle)MemHandleNew(StrLen(pSrcText) + 1);
if(!hText)
return;
}
CharPtr pFieldText = (CharPtr)MemHandleLock(hText);
StrCopy(pFieldText,pSrcText);
MemHandleUnlock(hText);
FldSetTextHandle( m_pField,(Handle)hText);
FldDrawField( m_pField );
}
