Engage and Select
[1/3] from: mattsmac:hotma:il at: 16-Sep-2003 14:54
I have a text area that I am using an engage function in to catch when the
user uses the scroll-wheel on the mouse. However, I cannot click and drag
to select the text within the box while the engage function is there. Is
there a way to get the best of everything?

You could look at the standard ENGAGE function, and use that as your
starting point.
>> probe get in ctx-text/edit 'engage
You can start by using that code and making manual edits against it.
When you get in a little deeper there are some VID gurus around that
might suggest some better ways to do things.

Yes, look at existing engage function:
layout [a: area]
probe a/feel
You can just copy the key handling code you see there.
