Franz,
This may not be it - you don't say whether you can do other typing
in the
fields - but I've been utterly stumped in the past by fields that I
can only
edit using the property inspector (or otherwise programmatically).
I finally
tracked it down to the autoHilite property - this is presented on
the first
tab of the property inspector for fields, and the documentation on
it is very
clear, so I don't really have an excuse - but the behaviour has
nothing to do
with the name, so it's nonetheless very confusing.
The effect of autoHilite on a button is exactly what you'd expect.
The effect
on a field is that if this property is false, you/the user can't
select the
text or set the insertion point - and hence can't type or paste into
the
field. (Depending on the 'focusable' property - you may still be
able to tab
into the field.)
This may have nothing to do with your problem, but it's worth
checking.
Along these lines, if you want your field to be editable, the
following three properties should be set to true. Each of them
represents a different reason why you might not be able to type in a
field:
the lockText - obvious
the traversalOn - (controlled by the Focusable checkbox) if false,
prevents you from focusing on the field with mouse or tab key
the autoHilite - if false, prevents user from clicking to select text
or an input cursor. I believe you can still tab to the field however.
