It saves you stopping, going to find a particular icon, enter another
debug statement, re-run the piece...

Aha.
And it only forces the debug to the front on the first debug trace it
hits. After that it stays in background.
That's OK, Can't live without a debug window.
Sort of like AW's "package it and it will work fine" thingy.
:-)

>Try typing rootIcon in there

Double aha.
Sweet.

Dave

The focus is getting set to the input field on the debug window: that
debugs an expression back to you from inside Xerte. Try typing rootIcon
in there and press enter. Useful for checking stuff as you go.

It's a beautiful thing.
Thanks Julian.

Just one other whinge while I'm at it.
I preview, text entry does not have focus, that's OK, I know I could set
it.

I click in text entry and type "L" then Enter.
It executes.

I hit Enter again.
I get :undefined in the Trace
Does not execute.

I click in entry field again.
Enter.
It executes.

Enter.
It executes.

etc

Where in the ether is the flow going on that first go-around?

I've just fixed it so that the enter keypress when the textentry is set
to * increments attempts.

Does it work now?

Sure, I'll take a peek at the code.
But am I doing something wrong or is it just not doing what's on the
can?

No, it's just we might have some code here that does what you want, I
don't think it has to be in a template.

Patrick, are you saying I need some template code to accomplish the
tries/text entry combination? And the tries firing on the specified
limit?

LDAP?
Isn't that something you use for sealing drafty windows?

I don't think so, as he have a template here which does something like
what you are describing I think. I could send you the template file for
that? Have a pick at it?

Sadly the template type people are all away, and you have me.

Would you like to discuss LDAP?

Hmm, am I doing a no-no here?

Now I have a text entry, a button and a tries limit set to 2.

The button will trigger the tries limit, but only on the 3rd hit.
The text entry will not trigger the tries limit, no matter if there is a
pattern or a * in there.

I'm crestfallen.

I have an interaction with a text entry (*) and a tries limit.
The entry is tripping, can't seem to trigger the tries limit.
Anything to look out for?

Thnx.

Dave
