Everything works except that I must click the LMB >in the gadget window before I can type text to the window. I think the SELECTED flag only works with boolean gadgets. In order to activate a string gadget, one has to use the ActivateGadget(...) function. This is a 1.2 function, and it is therefore not documented in the original Intuition RKM (not a flame ! I'm glad they added it to intuition.library). I've not the autodocs online, but I think the syntax is something like ActivateGadget(struct Gadget *,struct Window *,struct Requester *). You have to care that your window is active (and your requester opened), if you want this function to work. -Stephane Barbey barbey@elma.epfl.ch
