Hi.
I have not followed the thread about clip boards, but I would have to
ask why do you want an edit field to be brought up by JFW???? Is
there truely a need for it???? Shouldn't HJ concentrate more on
functions that would make JFW work with more applications or give the
user more flexability in getting information from the application or
off the screen?
Regards
sean.

I'm impressed by the power of the JFW 3.2 scripting language. I had
not
realized, for example, that listboxes can be created and the index of
the
item chosen returned to the script for further processing. The
discussion
about creating clipboard capabilities with scripts made me wonder
whether
it was possible to present an editbox to the user (similar to
Vocal-Eyes)
by which one could type whatever character should be used to separate
blocks of text appendes to the clipboard variable. I read the entire
builtin.jsd file to see what controls could be created by scripts, and
found that at this time, editboxes cannot be created. Evidently,
listboxes and messageboxes are the only controls presently supported
by
scripting.
Thus, I'm wondering what controls would be useful to suggest to HJ for
inclusion in the scripting language. It seems that a simple edit box
would be a worthwhile addition. The function might be called
EditBox()
and return the string entered by the user or perhaps a code if Escape
was
pressed. Arguments to the function could include a default strong to
be
presented in the editbox and a number indicating the maximum width of
a
string the user can enter.
What do others think?
Regards,
Jamal
