TEXT-INPUT-PANE with text selected?

Hmm, I'm probably missing something obvious again but I can't find it
at the moment: Is there a way to present a text input pane to the user
with the text already selected (so that he just has to press the
Backspace key to delete the text)?

Thanks,
Edi.

Did you try set-text-input-pane-selection?

You're welcome!

Thanks, that was the one that didn't occur to me last night.  However,
if I write something like this:

  (capi:define-interface foo-interface ()
    ()
    (:panes
     (text-input-pane
      capi:text-input-pane
      :text "Something"
      :accessor text-input-pane))
    (:default-initargs
     :create-callback (lambda (interface)
                        (let* ((pane (text-input-pane interface))
                               (text (capi:text-input-pane-text pane)))
                          (capi:set-text-input-pane-selection pane
                                                              0
                                                              (length text))))))

then instances of FOO-INTERFACE will /not/ have the text initially
selected as expected (at least with LWW 4.4.6).  I tried replacing the
create callback with an :AFTER method on CAPI:INTERFACE-DISPLAY but
that also didn't help.

Is this a timing problem?  A bug?  Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Edi.

On mac OS 10.4 it works find, even without the create-callback (when only
one text-input-pane).
With several panes, the function set-pane-focus determine witch text is
completely selected.

(capi:define-interface foo-interface ()
  ()
  (:panes
   (text-input-pane1
    capi:text-input-pane
    :text "Something"
    :accessor text-input-pane1)
   (text-input-pane2
    capi:text-input-pane
    :text "Something"
    :accessor text-input-pane2)))

(let ((interface (mki 'foo-interface)))
  (display interface)
  (set-pane-focus (text-input-pane2 interface)))

Hmm, that doesn't seem to work for me on Windows.  Actually, I know a
couple of Windows apps which work that way - edit the address in
Firefox, switch to another app and back to Firefox, now the whole text
is selected.  But with LispWorks it's not like that.

Thanks,
Edi.

Yep, that works fine.

Thanks a lot,
