FixedFont attribute in TextEditor broken or?

[marko]

The FixedFont attribute in TextEditor doesn't seem to work, I have like this:

Code: Select all

<texteditor id="myte" WrapMode="nowrap" FixedFont="true" ScrollBar="true" contents="enter text" cyclechain="1"/>

Or am I doing it wrong?

Doesn't work here either. You have to report this to the TextEditor.mcc team. Tell them MUIA_TextEditor_FixedFont is not working.

Ok, I'll report to them, good that the bug got confirmed through.

Thanks for the fast reply

Done, I made a Ticket on their TextEditor tracker just now.

If TE.mcc ticket #111 was opened by you then it is missing the absolute minimum required information. You just stated "it doesn't work", nothing else. No version, no operating system, no code snippet, nothing. This is not how bug reports are going to result in a fix for the problem. And you opened the ticket anonymously which makes it impossible for us to ask any further questions, because you will get no notification.

I cannot tell how Hollywood converts its own object description to a bunch of attributes for the NewObject() call, so it is hard to tell where the problem is located exactly. YAM is the proof that the attribute is working. You can switch all read/write instances of TE.mcc to fixed fonts and this is definitely working. But it cannot be changed on the fly for an already existing object. MUIA_TextEditor_FixedFont can be set at object creation time only.

Hi, yes ticket #111 was opened by me. Yes I know, sorry I forgot to provide some info as well, I was little tired at that moment haha

But I did reply to that message and it is currently marked as "Post awaiting moderation." as seen here: http://sourceforge.net/p/texteditor-mcc/bugs/111/

Luckily, I got my reptly still stored (in a TextEditor on my Win box )

Oh sorry, I relize that now

TextEditor 15.43 (18.12.2013) on AmigaOS 4.1 Update 6.

But I found a more recent version on OS4Depot now, and installed it to:

TextEditor 15.45 (05.04.2014)

But still no FixedFont.

I don't usually hang on SourceForge and I did not want to open "yet another account to keep track on among loads of them".

But then it hit me, I DO actually have an account there, so I created a NON-anonymous second ticket #112, "No Horizontal ScrollBar when autowrapping is OFF".

I believe this is something for Andreas to meditate on

Ok, I can try to do that...

*testing*

Yes, "switch all read/write instances of TE.mcc to fixed fonts" works, I managed to get fixed font in the TextEditor now Thanks for the tip

However, I can say that the FixedFont attribute in TE doesn't seem to have effect, I can set it to false and get Fixed font when Area Font is set to Fixed. If that is Hollywood or MUI TextEditor itself to fault I don't know...
But I got fixed font in the Editor now anyway

I still can't get this to work but I've prepared a little demo program for tboeckel. So let's see what comes out of this.

[airsoftsoftwair]

Working now here. You have to make sure that you configure a fixed font in the TextEditor.mcc MUI prefs because there is *no* default one and also no fallback to MUI's fixed font! So you have to explicitly configure a fixed font in the TextEditor.mcc prefs or it's not going to work.
