I did not get that active string gadget resolved. There is another thing that
this active string gadget does when I select a menubar selection with the
leftamigakey-key equivalent!! I have an 'About…' selection in the menubar,
with the LeftAmigaKey-F being the keyboard equivalent. When the A-F is selected
with the string gadget being active, the 'about' requester pops up with text,
and one 'continue' gadget. I can see that the string gadget is still active. "I
even have the ACTIVATE flag set in the newwindow structure of the requester!".
When I press the continue gadget, the requester should disappear, but what
happens is the string gadget becomes inactive. I press the continue gadget
again, and the requester goes away. So what I basically did, was press the
'continue' gadget twice. One to deactivate the string gadget, and one to close
the requester.
As I mentioned in another message, 'I wish there was a DeActivateGadget()'! I
tried several ways of deactivating this string gadget after selecting the
keyboard equivalent menubar selection, but nogo!!
