Re^5: Displaying NUL in a TK::Text widget

I wish I had a better sollution to recommend, but all I can think of is to:

put a tag around the text
when there is input, see if the "insert" mark moved past the start of a tag of type mytag
if so, move the "insert" mark past the end of the tag.

A lot of work, but worth it IMO if you're going to use this thing a lot.

You also might want to consider subclassing Tk::Text to support all these changes. Maybe overloading insert to make the transformation before handing it off to SUPER::insert...

Ah...crap. I know just enough Tk to be able to do simple things. Well, I suppose this could be the task that broadens my horizons...:) thor `Feel the white light, the light within Be your own disciple, fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting, your kingdom will come`	[reply]
