[fxruby-users] SEL_CHANGED event for FXText and FXTextfield

[Philippe Lang]

Hi,

I have noticed a small difference between the SEL_CHANGED event of an
FXText and an FXTextfield: in an FXText, the SEL_CHANGED event gets
fired even if the content does not "change", like when the selection
changes. You can test that with the following test program.

I imagine this is no bug at all. But from a "symetry" point of view :),
I was expecting both events to mean the same in two similar widgets. The
equivalent event for an FXText is actually SEL_REPLACED. It took me some
time to figure it out!

Anyway, this is not a big deal at all.

Regards,

Philippe
