Sip Problem

[robert black]

Can anyone explain:
When I enable the sip keyboard a move left key seems to generate so any textBox highlights are extinquised and the cursor is in one letter from the end of text


Many Thanks

Does it happen in the device IDE?

Dear Erel
Thanks for reply ..
i'm using a ipaq 214 with wm6 but if I remember correctly I also had the problem with a Dell axim using WM5


Also I posted a thread ref resetting the word completion dictionary in software but have not had any replies .. any ideas



best wishes

When does this problem happen?

[robert black]

this short excert even as a stand alone gives problem

on clicking button1 the cursor moves one space to left clearing seleted text
on second click of button1 it works ok

If the sib is disabled with button2 then problem occurs again
when clicking button1



Sub App_Start
Form1.Show
Sip(False)
End Sub

Sub Button1_Click
TextBox1.Focus
TextBox1.SelectionStart=0
TextBox1.SelectionLength= _
StrLength(TextBox1.Text)
Sip(True)
End Sub


sub Button2_Click
sip(false)
end sub

I see it too. This is the .Net behavior.
This code should work:

Sub Button1_Click
 Sip(True)
  textbox1.SelectionStart=0
 textbox1.SelectionLength = StrLength(textbox1.Text)
 textbox1.Focus
End Sub

You can also store the current values and then set them after setting the SIP value.

thanks for reply erel
and a quick thank you to all .dll programmers that make basic4ppc so
versatile

i have tried to move the sip and textbox.focus to different parts of the sub
but the same result -- any other ideas

i've attached something that works but is messy --- showing a quick flash msbox()

also i did post a enquirey ref resetting the word completion dictionary
in software but no replyies --- any ideas

as you know the WM6 word completion table is not accessible ( i think ) but I have a prog that will automatocally put words from any .txt list onto the word completion index ( really useful on device )

many thanks

Did you try this code:

Sub Globals
    'Declare the global variables here.

End Sub

Sub App_Start
    Form1.Show
End Sub
Sub Button1_Click
 Sip(True)
  textbox1.SelectionStart=0
 textbox1.SelectionLength = StrLength(textbox1.Text)
 textbox1.Focus
End Sub

It seems to work fine.
