Alex Restrepo's Custom Editfield

General
1

I have fixed the flickering with Alex Restrepo’s custom editfield but I see a a red line through the screen when I maximize the window. Do any of you get this problem and know how I can fix it? Does anybody have a bunch of his classes updated to the latest version of xojo. That would really help!

For reference to his controls:

The latest version is here, flicker-free:

You have to get the r88 via a svn client.

Be aware that IF you’re trying to write a text input client you’ll want to base it on our free TextInputCanvas so it works properly on Cocoa
Otherwise there are a lot of behaviors that you will never get and cannot make work

Like press & hold the E key - you get a nice little popover of alternatives
Can’t do that in your own code without the text input canvas

Thanks. Do you think it would be okay to use Thomas Tempelmann’s link? Would it be easy to base this class off of the TextInputClass, if it is not already based on that.

Thanks

Also, I am able to use this on Windows?

Thanks

How do I setup the SVN client, Thomas Tempelmann?

Thanks

I have found out that the red line is because of the right margin marker.

Sorry about that. All seems good so thanks.

The characteristics that Norman was talking about (the text popover) is specific to Cocoa. So no, those are not available on Windows or Linux.

You can write your code once as the plugin does work on Windows & linux
However the press & hold behavior is unique to OS X

Hello i download one off the Lib from Alex and the file ext is sitx How i use this on Xojo or RB

Alexis, normally a file ending in .sit or .sitx is a Stuffit archive so you will need Stuffit Expander which is available as a free download on the site the Stuffit.com for Mac and Windows.

Strangely, when I downloaded this custom editfield class from the mac.softpedia link above I got a .zip file so I’m wondering why you got a .sitx.
