I'm having problems updating the text in my boolean gadgets. I would appreciate it if someone could help. Here's the situtation: I have a boolean gadget with text that I want to alternate between the strings: "YES", "NO", and "MAYBE". The problem is that when I change the gadgets Intuitext structure so that it contains a new string, instead of replacing the old string, it overwrites it (OR mode?). I tried JAM2, and JAM1 in the IntuiText structures, with the same results. Anyone know what the problem is? Thanks in advance. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | kim @beowulf.UCSD.EDU (Home of the Garden Weasles) | | "...

Boolean gadgets with text only cannot be updated as you mention. They should have a bitmap associated, instead. 2. The usual way of doing this is to RemoveGadget, modify it, AddGadget, and RefreshGlist (or RefreshGadgets) Take a look at some source code that does "mutual excluded gadgets". -- Marco Papa 'Doc' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
