Re: EditField format is copied between fields

Hi Julian (or anyone who migth help me :-))
How I can avoid the format of one EditField to be copied to next when moved
using cursor Up or Down keys? For example, I have two fields, one bold the
second normal. When I move from One to Second using cursor down, the second
field gets bold when I start to type its content, but if I use TAB works
correctly.

I can't found this in Edit options. Another acceptable way could be disable
cursors keys between fields, but I need them into multiline fields, so
KeyDown event for the editor don't work.

Thanks a lot

Diego

You can trap the OnEditFieldFocus and set the property CurrAttr
according to the edit field you are in (function CurrentEditField :
string).

Other procedures helpful in this context are:

function InputField(c: Char; const text, fieldname: string):
Integer;
function InputFieldEx(c: Char; const DisplayName, FieldName,
Command: string; Format: Integer): Integer;
function InputEditField(const fieldname, fieldtext: string;
placecaret: Boolean): Integer;
function ReadFieldText(const fieldname: string): string;
procedure GetFields(list: TStrings);
function GetFieldName(tag: Integer): string;
function GetPreviousFieldName(par: PTParagraph; lin: PTLine; pos:
Integer): string;
function CurrentEditField: string;
// EditField Support
function MoveToField(const fieldname: string; from_start:
Boolean): Boolean;
function MoveToNextField(from_start: Boolean): string;
function MoveToPreviousField(from_end: Boolean): string;
function DeleteFieldAtCP: Boolean;
function SelectFieldAtCP: Boolean;

Hi Julian:
Thanks for your reply.
Sorry, but I still don't understand how to get the field on focus
attributes, to replace the current attr. CurrentEditField only gives me the
name, how do I get the field attr?
