[Iup-users] Inserting text into matrix cell during editing... Re:auto completion in Iup.matrix

[Andrew Wilson]

Antonio,

I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but here is a short iuplua
script which attempts to append the string "more" to all input, but
unfortunately doesn't work. But the caret does get positioned, also
the callback action_cb doesn't work but action does?

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wong?

-- test append to cell
local matrix = iup.matrix{  numlin=3,  numcol=4,  scrollbar="YES",
RESIZEMATRIX="YES", }

function matrix:action(c,line,col,active,after)
  print("action",c,line,col,active,after)

  local current=line..":"..col

  -- append string "more" into current cell
  iup.SetAttribute(matrix,current,after.."more")

  -- alway put carat at beginning
  iup.SetAttribute(matrix,"CARET","1")

  -- force redraw
  iup.SetAttribute(matrix,"REDRAW","ALL")

  return c,iup.DEFAULT
end

dlg = iup.dialog{matrix,title="test" }
dlg:showxy(iup.CENTER, iup.CENTER)

Thanks
Andrew
