[comp.sys.mac] editing cursor bar disapears !

iron@imag.imag.fr (Francois Menneteau) (09/09/88)

A friend of min realised an application that is a kind of data base.
The purpose it to store information about SF writers and of course read it
latter.

So he build a small editor to keep the data. BUT he has a little problem:
As soon as he write a character, the editing cursor bar for disapears!
And if he want to retrieve it, it must click on anywhere in its text. 
No very funny.

So the question is : how to always have this bloody editing cursor ?

Think's in advance.

Sounds like he may have left out a TEActivate call. Make sure the TEHandle
gets a TEActivate whenever the associated window gets a Activate event.
