Syntax

TF$=SENDMSG(sysgui,id,32,0,value${,context{,ERR=lineref}})

Description

This function sets the !EDIT string of the INPUTN control, which may be necessary if a control exists and users can change the !EDIT string within Visual PRO/5.

Parameter

Description

sysgui

SYSGUI channel.

id

INPUTN control ID.

32

Number of this SENDMSG() function.

0

Always zero.

value$

Edit string, having a maximum of 256 characters.

Although the !EDIT string is set when the control is created, it does not reflect changes that occur during the control's lifetime. The control is not subject to the filesystem's device I/O and 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.
