[comp.sys.mac.programmer] MacApp TTEView.StuffText

ba0k+@andrew.cmu.edu (Brian Patrick Arnold) (08/14/90)

Howdy,

  I've been using MacApp's TTEView.StuffText repeatedly for some time. 
I just read in the docs that there's a known bug in calling it
repeatedly with MacApp 2.0 final, so I now suspect it's the cause of
some occasional system error problems I've been encountering recently
when repeatedly stuffing text in my view.  Since SetText creates a
handle and then calls StuffText, I assume it's also bad to call SetText
repeatedly as well.  Does anybody know what's a good way to reset the
text of a TTEView short of freeing the view and allocating another one? 
What exactly is the problem with StuffText anyway?

Before I try to find out on my own, does anyone else have a simple
solution to stuffing text repeatedly?  Thanks if anyone can help.
