Thanks for the help with the wIntegrate text box. It helps to use the WIN.DBEDGET and WIN.DBEDGET subroutines instead of the WIN.DBGET and WIN.DBSET (one can even choose between an VM'd or an AM'd return string).
I've noticed one additional peculiarity. I wrote a wrapper subroutine to call the WIN.... text box routines and has an [OK] and a [Cancel] button on the form. I have a main program that asks for an newsletter item id then calls this wrapper program; which pops open the wIntegrate (or AccuTerm) text box. No other interaction with the WIN... routines occurs. I type in the information then click on the [OK] button (or can just click the [Cancel] button. The peculiarity is when, still staying inside the main program, entering another newsletter id, which pops open (and fills) the text box for a second newsletter item, I click anywhere in the text box and try to enter data. I cannot enter data. I can, however, press the [Backspace] key and erase data. I can select data, but any key I press acts like the [Del] key. If I exit the main BASIC program then reenter it, the text box functions normally. The AccuTerm textbox always operates normally. Does anyone know why the 1st call of a text box, from within a BASIC program, acts like a normal text box but subsequent calls restrict data input but not data removal? I was fiddling with the "WIN.DBDEL" and the "WIN.SSTATE" routines but the wrapper subroutine seems to be coded identical to the "WIN.DBDEMO2" routine. As ususl, any observation would be appreciated. :-) Bill > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill H.
