I would like to be able to dynamically enlarge a EDIT control when it has FOCUS, and then reduce it back down to its original size again, when FOCUS is lost.
Is this possible to do using API?
Thanks in advance

You don't need API for this
| Code: | Title ExpandElementOnFocus
DIALOG CREATE,ExpandElementOnFocus,-1,0,373,160
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,UnFocus,31,289,64,24
DIALOG ADD,EDIT,EDIT1,31,19,180,19,EDIT1,,EXIT,CLICK,MULTI,WRAP
DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,Close,118,289,64,24,Close
DIALOG SHOW
:Evloop
wait event
goto @event()
:UnFocusBUTTON
info EDIT1 should now return to normal size@cr()because it has lost focus
goto evloop
:EDIT1CLICK
DIALOG SETPOS,EDIT1,31,19,240,111
goto evloop
:EDIT1EXIT
DIALOG SETPOS,EDIT1,31,19,180,19
goto evloop
:CloseBUTTON
:Close
exit |

Hi, many thanks for that. Had a brain bypass this week. As a subsidiary question is there a way to pop up a GROUP dialog when a TEXT element is hovered over? And then hide the GROUP dialog when the mouse moves away?
Regards

Hi arcay:
This way, for example:
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,Test MOUSEOVER,-1,0,240,225
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,TEXT1,60,30,75,18,I Love MOUSE
DIALOG ADD,BITMAP,BITMAP1,60,30,75,18,,,MOUSEOVER
DIALOG SHOW
:Loop
wait event
%e = @event()
goto %e
:Close
info Bye!
stop
:BITMAP1ENTER
parse "%x;%y",@mousepos(XY)
DIALOG CREATE,Love message,@sum(%y,10),@sum(%x,20),108,50,NOSYS,COLOR FF5E5E
DIALOG ADD,TEXT,TEXT1,17,17,,,Mouse is over
DIALOG SHOW
wait event
dialog close
while @event()
wend
goto Loop |
A TEXT element doesn't allow an "ENTER" event. We need a BITMAP element to generate this event.
Good luck
