I've just started reading up about the TextEdit toolset in Toolbox ref III. I was wondering what the refcon field specifies? the manual jumps from moreFlags to textFlags on page 49-35 - 49-36 Also, I set vertBar to $FFFFFFFF as the book says, but when the window comes up, the scroll bar shows a thumber (sp ?) the size of the entire scroll bar. Thus, I cannot make the window scroll up or down. I'm Initiating the call with TEnew inside of an Alert window. testflags looks like this 11100100100100000000000000000000 bit 31.....................bit 0 Can anyone help me out here? thanks nagendra nagendra@bucsf.bu.edu

The system will not look at it. The only exception is that the Dialog Manager stores values in the control refCon fields of dialog items. >Also, I set vertBar to $FFFFFFFF as the book says, but when the window >comes up, the scroll bar shows a thumber (sp ?) the size of the entire >scroll bar.

On the IIgs, the thumbs of scroll bars are proportional to the amount of data displayed. If there's not enough data to scroll, there will be no thumb and you'll not be able to scroll anything. Try adding enough data so that you have to scroll to see it all. -- ============================================================================ Matt Deatherage, Developer Technical | The opinions expressed herein are Support, Apple Computer, Inc. | not those of Apple Computer, and Personal mail only, please.
