The bad news: I am confused on how to make [appearance] static edit fields editable. The manual says that one must merely change the type of an edit field to an editable type to switch it from static to editable (or that's my interpretation). The demo below fails to do that, and also must use cls to remove the undesirable proof of downscaling. With Standard BASIC, both problems vanish. window 1,"Testing",(0,0)-(600,600) edit field 1,"Edit Me!",(0,0)-(500,500),_statFramed edit field 1,,(0,0)-(200,200),_Framed cls do handleevents until 0 Seems simple... apparently too simple for me. Blech, anyone know what I am doing wrong? The good news: Once I fix the refresh quirks, one related item, and get the thing to actually build then Scheduler should be done. Hooray!
