In trying to port Little Smalltalk to the Mac, I have encountered the following problem; and need a MacExpert to tell me what I am doing wrong. I can put up an edit window with no problem. However, when I create and activate another window, then when I return to the edit window my cursor does not work correctly. Specifically, with each mouse click it selects all the text from the current position to the end of the window. I even tried putting a constant false in the extend argument to TEClick, and it still does the same thing. There must be some bit of magic information that is not being reset correctly, but I have no idea what it is. --tim budd

TEClick requires a point in local coordinates while the mouse down event is in global coordinates. Try including a LocalToGlobal(&event->where) before your TEClick call. best of luck, mike

Oops. In my previous reply I typed LocalToGlobal, of course that should have been GlobalToLocal. My fingers weren't listening again :-) Sorry about that, mike

Good, I thought about doing it myself, but you are a much better choice. If you need a beta site, let me know. > >I can put up an edit window with no problem.

Without seeing the code, it's hard to guess, but here are some things to check: 1) Are you calling TEActivate and TEDeactive on the appropiate activate events? 2) Do you call GlobalToLocal(&pt), where pt is the point you will pass to TEClick? TEClick wants its points in local coordinates. 3) Is the size of the first argument to TEClick correct(a point, I think)? I'd check these things first. I can't think of anything else that might do it. > >--tim budd Jerry Whitnell Been through Hell? Communication Solutions, Inc. What did you bring back for me? - A. Brilliant
