v2.1a TButtonedEdit active cursor missing in Search tab #97

this works in v2.0 expected

salvadorbs commented 3 years ago

Do you mean the focus on searchEdit (to save a click)?

megabugman commented 3 years ago

Firstly, thank you for your reply and for fixing already some of the reported bugs. OK, I see you use different controls in V2.0 compared to V.2.1.

My expectation after pressing the Search Tab would be that the Edit Control gets activated and displays the cursor: image -> like this I could immediately type/filter for applications.

Also I'd expect to see the caret when returning to the Search tab after clicking the List tab. I hope this helps to understand the issue I see in here.

OK, I see you use different controls in V2.0 compared to V.2.1. Yes, it's basically a new component that I had to develop from scratch, as there is no component in Lazarus similar to the one in Delphi.

Now I should have restored the behavior as in asuite 2.0.

nice, now go and prettify it :)

the cursor is almost not visible, consider changing the width and add some space between cursor and name like so | name image

Unfortunately, this is the standard behavior of the editbox and cannot be changed to add a space between cursor and texthint.
