CAPI / Dynamically changing push-button slots


Hi,

Is there anyway to dynamically modify buttons in CAPI :

CL-USER 18 > (let ((b (make-instance 'push-button :text "foo")))
               (contain b)
               (setf (slot-value b 'capi::text) "bar"))
"bar"

I was naively trying to implement a toggle effect : changing both the
text and the selection-callback slots. 

I also tried to play with (redisplay-interface *my-interface*) because I
but without any effect apparently. LWW 5.0 is it matters.

Regards and thanks for any clue,

The examples given in the capi ref use capi:apply-in-pane-process to alter 
widgets (for example, see the examples under text-input-pane).

That may have something to do with your problem.  The container (interface) is 
in a different process than the listener, so you have to do the setf in the 
process of the container using magic.

This version works for me:

  (let ((b (make-instance 'capi:push-button :text "foo")))
    (capi:contain b)
    (setf (capi:item-text b) "bar"))
