Is there madness in my methods? My TEditText editing fields do not
auto-wrap as the documentation suggests is the default.
Inspector indicates that the TDialogTEView associated with the
TEditText object has fAutoWrap = FALSE. If I override TDialogView.MakeTEView
to add a call to the ChangeWrap method, Inspector shows fAutoWrap to be
appropriate, but the text wraps to some rectangle much wider than that of the
TEditText view.
[Am using MPW Pascal 3.0, MacApp2.0b5 (and better) and ViewEdit].
Help!!!

Your stuck with that width. I have no idea how that width was determined, or why it was hard-coded, but that's the way it is. Probably the easiest thing to do if you want multi-line, auto-wrap edittable text is to use a TTEView instead of a TEditText item. The problem with this is that you can't TAB in and out of if automatically, and you have to juggle the window's target, but this isn't too tough once you dive into the TDialog source and see what's going on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keith Rollin --- Apple Computer, Inc. --- Developer Technical Support INTERNET: keith@apple.com UUCP: {decwrl, hoptoad, nsc, sun, amdahl}!apple!keith "Argue for your Apple, and sure enough, it's yours" - Keith Rollin, Contusions
