#ARP compiling
13 messages in this thread
Hi, Cheath. I have been using ARP for some time now, and I really love it.
It sure saves a lot of time when writing small programs. I am just having a
very slight problem with it. Here Goes:
I am using the FileRequester, and it works very well except for when I
double-click a filename. My program gets the selection fine, but the CLI
window it is running from stays un-selected, even after the Requester has
disappeared. After that, clicking into the CLI window does NOT make it the
current one. I have to click in another window and then back into the CLI
window to get it activated again. This only happens if I double-click an
entry. It doesn't occur if I click the OK or Cancel gadgets. Any ideas?
Khalid.
P.S. I am using ARP V1.1
And I also tried the FileRequest.c program included in the ARC file. It
has the same problem.
That's an Intuition bug, I don't know exactly what causes it but it is
related to mouse/menu activity in a window just before it is closed.
Intuition forgets to refresh the titlebar of the selected window; if you
type at the seemingly unselected CLI window, it probably actually is
selected but just doesn't have the correct hilite-
Cheath, I tried typing into the unselected CLI window, still no go. I can
resize it, etc. But still can't activate it without clicking into another
window first.
I thought you could click in the window, and even though it doesn't show up
as `selected' it is still active for inputs. At least that's the way it's
worked here when I've seen it-
Nope, the window is not selected, not active, and you cannot click into it at
all. There is something strange here.

This is actually in response to your previous message…
* is the default ARP ESC character? I thought * was being used as a
wildcard as well… how does this work?
Yup, * is the default ESC character; ESC is only processed when you
double-quote a string. If you want to include * as a wildcard in a quoted
string, you can type ** which is ESC'ed into a single *. We decided to
stick with * as the default ESCAPE for compatability, if you prefer to use
\ you can stick SET ESCAPE \ into your startup-sequence- …cheath
