Hi folks,
Given a widget called orig, I'd like to create a new widget containing the
orig's text. I've accomplished this with the code:
editWidget=pgNewWidget(PG_WIDGET_FIELD,
PG_DERIVE_INSIDE,
editWidgetPopup);
pgSetWidget(editWidget,
PG_WP_TEXT,pgGetWidget(orig,PG_WP_TEXT),
0);
Now the user has indicated they're done with editWidget and I have to decide
if they changed any of the text. In a perfect world, I'd like to:
char *origText = text from orig; <- Is there a way to do this?
editWidget=pgNewWidget(PG_WIDGET_FIELD,
PG_DERIVE_INSIDE,
editWidgetPopup);
pgSetWidget(editWidget,
PG_WP_TEXT,pgGetWidget(orig,PG_WP_TEXT),
0);
char *editWidgetText = text from editWidget; <- and this?
if (strcmp(origText,editWidgetText) != 0){
pgSetWidget(orig,
PG_WP_TEXT,pgNewString(editWidgetText),
any other widget properties for orig widget,
0);
}
Basically I want to save the text from orig, compare it to the text from
editWidget and, if they are different, replace the text in orig with the
text from editWidget.
I tried char *origText=pgGetWidget(orig,PG_WP_TEXT) which failed since
pgGetWidget returns something of the type s32, which gdb revealed to be 146.
What is s32?
If I can't do what I've described, the only other thing I can come up with
is to delete orig, create a new widget, add it to the list and set its text
to the text from editWidget using:
pgSetWidget(newWidget,
PG_WP_TEXT,pgGetWidget(editWidget,PG_WP_TEXT),
any other widget properties for newWidget,
0);
I'll have to do this even if the text hasn't changed since I've no way of
knowing if the user did or didn't change anything. This is wasteful and I
hate waste. Neither do I like deleting orig and adding a new widget to the
end of the list. I don't think editing a list entry should cause it to be
displayed at the end of the list. I think the entry should keep its
position and only the text should change. Did that make any sense?
Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions?
Mark
