I am trying to get a single string gadget to auto select in a requester when
the requester first comes up. I call Request(Window), and then
do a ActivateGadget(&Gadget, Window, Requester), but every time,
ActivateGadget returns a FALSE.
Sorry for the lack of detail, if more is needed I can provide it, the stuff
is at home, and I forgot to bring it.
Please email me if you can help.

You must wait for the REQSET IDCMP message before calling ActivateGadget(). Likewise, if you open a window and want a gadget in it active right away, you must wait for the ACTIVEWINDOW IDCMP message before calling ActivateGadget(). >Jeff Brogden | Kansas State University >Internet: jwb@cis.ksu.edu | Manhattan, KS. 66506 Peter -- Peter Cherna, Operating Systems Development Group, Commodore-Amiga, Inc. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!peter peter@cbmvax.commodore.com My opinions do not necessarily represent the opinions of my employer.

It was created to overcome the deficiencies in the Amiga requester system. GetString will allow you to get a string from the user. If you need more info on req.library, e-mail me. +-------------------------------------+----------------------------------+ | Colin_Fox@ice.outbound.wimsey.bc.ca | "...heavy!" | +-------------------------------------+ "There's that word again!
