[comp.sys.amiga.programmer] Activating String Gadgets

black@beno.CSS.GOV (Mike Black) (03/02/91)

I'm creating a window with several string gadgets and it would be real nice
to specifically select any gadget, or to cascade among them when the user
hits the return key (it's a real pain to have to select each and every
gadget).  Could some kind soul 'splain how to do this?

The function ActivateGadget() will do what you want.  You have to track
which gadget you want active when another finishes.  Make sure that
the gadgets are RELVERIFY.  When you get a GADGETUP event, activate
the next one.
