Hi,
I am having some problems getting text from editable text fields and I think
the error is in the function below. I can get data from the text field fine
the first time around. But, if you edit the text field and then try to get
the data from the edited field, I get an error that states "Field Object
Improperly Locked". Here is an example of how I call this function:
stringP = GetLockedPtr (whateverField);
if (stringP)
{
database.stringP = stringP;
MemPtrUnlock (stringP);
}
else
{
database.stringP = NULL;
}
// returns (locked) text in a field object
static Char* GetLockedPtr(UInt16 objectID)
{
FormPtr frm = FrmGetActiveForm();
FieldPtr fld;
MemHandle textH;
Char* textP;
fld = FrmGetObjectPtr(frm, FrmGetObjectIndex(frm, objectID));
textH = FldGetTextHandle (fld);
if (!textH)
{
textP = NULL;
}
else
{
textP = MemHandleLock (textH);
if (textP[0] == '\0')
{
textP = NULL;
}
}
return textP;
}
Any suggestions for fixing/improving this code is greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Andy
