Michael, my suggestion would be to use a RichEdit control setup like the
following for your PerlSql.pl script. I do not experience problems with
the RichEdit control using the backspace key to delete text.
$SqlText = $W->AddRichEdit(-name => "SqlText",
-text => "Enter an SQL Statement here, then click 'Submit'",
-width => 560,
-height => 100,
-left => 70,
-style => WS_VISIBLE | ES_MULTILINE,
-top => 402,
);
$SqlText->SendMessage(197, 1024, 0); # limit to 1024 character input
Regards,
Eric Hansen

My experience with textfields is that when you try to backspace or delete a
part of the text, it doesn't redraw correctly and you can get overlapping
characters. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix for it?
Michael, is this what you are experiencing as well?
