dxut: keeping carent in editbox

dxut: keeping carent in editbox

• Johan Strand

  Repro is easy. Take Aug SDK, Custom UI sample. Start typing at the end of the textbox right in the middle of the screen. Watch the cursor fly out of the text box and off the screen.
  
  Note: This only occurs in the C# version of the sample. THe C++ version works as expected.
  
  Note2: The C# code actually documents this in dxmutgui.cs
  EditBox::FocusText()
  

  // Because of a design issue with the rich text box control that is used as
  // the backing store for this control, the 'scrolling' mechanism built into
  // the control will only work if the control has focus. Setting focus to the
  // control here would work, but would cause a bad 'flicker' of the application.
  // Therefore, the automatic horizontal scrolling is turned off by default. To
  // enable it turn this define on.
  #if (SCROLL_CORRECTLY)
  NativeMethods.SetFocus(textData.Handle);
  NativeMethods.SetFocus(Parent.SampleFramework.Window);
  #endif
  
  However if you define SCROLL_CORRECTLY, it no longer compiles since NativeMethods.SetFocus is not defined.

  Bug confirmed.  Look for a future SDK release to fix this problem.

  Hmm, that sounds like a bug but I can't repoduce it.  The caraet should be shown in the editbox where the insert point is, just like the GDI standard editbox. 
  
  Can you send your dxdiag.txt and SDK version to directx@microsoft.com
  
  Thanks,
  Jason

  I was searching to see if there was a fix to this problem, and my question is this still going to show up in a sdk update
