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

[Antonio Scuri]

 Sorry, it is a bug. The VALUE attribute was not working as espected. I just
fixed the problem.

 But I should change your code to:

 function matrix:action(c,line,col,active,after)
   print("action",c,line,col,active,after)
 
   -- append string "more" into current cell
   -- VALUE will check if a text edit is shown and update it
   -- instead of just updating the matrix cell
   -- experiment to press Esc after editing the text, 
   -- the result will have "more" appended in the current implementation.
   -- The "L:C" attribute will only update the cell.
   self.value = after.."more"
 
   -- alway put caret at beginning
   self.caret = 1
 
   -- force redraw
   self.redraw = "ALL"
 
   return c  -- return c or other return value
 end

  Since I'm working in the next IUP version It will be released soon. If you
want to edit the source code I can send you the changes.

Best,
scuri
