Thank you,
I'm checking that ... I should have sent a little more info
here is what I have:
textlen = FldGetTextLength(field);
if (textlen > 0)
// I put this in just to test the string
{
offset = 0;
while(offset < textlen)
{
TxtGetNextChar(FldGetTextPtr(field), offset, &in);
txtbuff[offset++] = in;
}
txtbuff[offset] = NULL;
// I can see this string in the debugger
// I tried both of these test
// ch =TxtGetChar(FldGetTextPtr(field),0);
// if(TxtCharIsDigit(ch) || ch == '-')
if(TxtCharIsDigit(txtbuff[0]) || ch == '-')
{
// not working here
// FDin = FlpAToF(txtbuff);
// FDin = FlpAToF(FldGetTextPtr(field));
//working here for StrAToI
deg = StrAToI(FldGetTextPtr(field));
//this line is READING low mem ???
FDin = FlpAToF(FldGetTextPtr(field));
//?????????????????????????????????????????????
//the rest works for ints
StrIToA(inbuffer, ((deg -32)*5/9));
FrmCustomAlert(FtoCAlert, FldGetTextPtr(field), inbuffer, NULL);
I hope this is usefull info
Jim
