Hi. I have been programing in AT&T's OPENLOOK package for almost a year. I have most of my original graphics completily ported to this toolkit. However there is small enhancment that I want to do to the TEXT field widget. What the TEXT field widget does is provide a field for users to type text into. However, thier is no clean way of checking the string to the user hits return or the widget losses or gains input focus. What I need to do is to add a procedure to the widget to just that. I am not a widget programmer so if some kind soul can supply me with a general idea how to do this. Thanks for any info, Rob Montjoy E-MAIL Rob.Montjoy@uc.edu uunet!uucba!ucece1!montjoy

I use the events which combine together to allow checking before the return is pressed. Crazy method but I would rather not modify a standard widget unless pressed ( hard ).
