[comp.sys.mac.programmer] TCL Help needed...

bitting-douglas@cs.yale.edu (Douglas Bitting) (06/29/91)

Hi... I have a quick question for all you TCL gurus out there...

Here's the situation: I am simulating Modal Dialogs with the TCL (disabled
clicks outside my window, etc.)... In my pseudo-dialog, I have some CEditText
fields.  Now, tabbing between them and everything works fine, however I noticed
some rather unfriendly behavior while testing...

Problem:  If the cursor (mouse cursor, that is) is not in a CEditText region
(ie, it is an arrow instead of an I-beam), then my typing appears very
s..l..o..w..l..y.  However, if the cursor is within a CEditText region (ie, it
is an I-beam, not an arrow), then my typing appears lickedy-split (the way it
is supposed to).  Any ideas what causes this?  Any ideas on how to get around
it?  Oh! One last thing... it doesn't matter which CTextEdit field the (mouse)
cursor is in, as long as it is in one (typing appears quickly)...

Help me please... Thanks in advance and all that... :-)
