I have a problem that is just slaying me here.. it isn't a problem on OS 3.5
(my IIIc), but it does happen on 3.3... my experience has shown me that when
this happens, I'm doing it wrong :)
Ok.. I have a Modal Dialog with two listboxes. Both of them are dynamically
drawn using custom drawing functions and what appears in LB2 is directly
related to what is selected in LB1. The problem is when I select an item in
LB1 and redraw the form, the highlight goes all screwball... please help..
here is a snippet of code that I am using now:
case lstSelectEvent:
{
switch (pEvent->data.ctlEnter.controlID) {
case CoverCategoriesList:
{
FormPtr pForm = FrmGetActiveForm();
ListPtr list = FrmGetObjectPtr(pForm, FrmGetObjectIndex(pForm,
CoverCategoriesList));
Word sel = LstGetSelection(list);
if (sel != noListSelection)
{
SetupCoversList(pForm, sel);
FrmDrawForm(pForm);
}
}
break;
}
break;
}
Now the function "SetupCoversList" simply figures out how many visible items
there are supposed to be in the listbox and sets the drawing function.
(Before anyone asks, I do not use the built-in category feature for this
list because there could be anywhere from 10 to 100 categories.) I have
tried using FrmUpdateForm and I have tried returning a true from the event
handler (to tell the dialog I handled it) and nothing seems to work.. the
highlight still gets all messed up.
