Set !EDIT Value - INPUTE SENDMSG() Function 33

Syntax

TF$=SENDMSG(sysgui,id,33,0,value${,context{,ERR=lineref}})

Description

This function sets the INPUTE control's !EDIT string and may be necessary if a control exists. The !EDIT string can be changed within the Visual PRO/5 program.

Parameter	Description
sysgui	SYSGUI channel.
id	INPUTE control ID.
33	Number of this SENDMSG() function.
0	Always zero.
value$	Edit string, having a maximum of 256 characters.

The !EDIT string is set at initialization but does not reflect changes that occur during the control's lifetime. The control is not subject to the filesystem's device I/O and, therefore, does not recognize function key programming, although Keypress Notify events inform the application when special keys are pressed.

The control does not recognize !EDIT string edit commands that are programmed into function keys for the SYSWINDOW device.
