Let me help de-tangle a bit (if I can). It rather depends on the widget
that is being used, and who is sub-classing it to do whatever madness on
the way. Anyhow; assuming it is the 'rename' context menu on a tab; the
code goes:
source/ui/view/tabvwshf.cxx- AbstractScStringInputDlg* pDlg
= pFact->CreateScStringInputDlg(
source/ui/view/tabvwshf.cxx- GetDialogParent(),
aDlgTitle, String(ScResId(SCSTR_NAME)),
Which ends up with a generic string input:
sc/source/ui/inc/strindlg.hxx:class ScStringInputDlg : public ModalDialog
...
Edit aEdInput;
So we have an 'Edit' being used.
vcl/inc/vcl/edit.hxx
Shows a number of likely candidates; connecting to the 'ModifyHdl'
and running the validator on the name, removing characters if it not valid
might work; but of course.
git grep SetModifyHdl
for some instances of that; possibly we don't want to stop user input,
but have a FixedLine that says "invalid entry, last valid name was
'foo'" or whatever (?).
Anyhow - thanks for polishing this ! :-)
HTH,
Michael.
