Hi Phil,
That seems a great control.
I just saw 3 differences with the original control:
1: there is a "x" when some text is entered, used to clear the text.
2: while you select some text, if you drag out of the field, with the
mouse below the control, the selection goes until the end of the text.
3: the edit field's height is greater.
(I agree that these differences aren't significant).
I was going to try for Win32 but the download gets interrupted before
completion, every time. Could you not simply test for Mac classic
(where the double buffering is also not supported)?

I have been slaving over a new control... 8 hours today, and my
brain is fried. I would really appreciate it if you could try out
this application I would really appreciate it.
Basically, I built the SearchField control from scratch using a
canvas. It emulates an single-line EditField control (not
styled). It should work with all Edit menu items except for
"Undo". It accepts a text drop, but does not provide text drops yet.
As far as I know there are only three unsupported issues:
- Undo support
- text drags from SearchField control
- insertion point does not blink
- No focus ring (I would have to custom draw it and I don't know
how)
What I need is for a bit of behavior testing... please try to make
it break and then report steps.
I included a Windows version, but I do not have a Windows computer
available to me right now. This control should automatically
double-buffer on Windows computers, but if it does not please let
me know. In fact let me know if you see any visual glitches at all.
The way the test application works is for each TextChange() event,
the text in the large EditField is searched and only results which
contain the search string will be displayed. To display all
strings, just set the SearchField to empty.
