Anyone had any oddities with edit boxes?
My edit boxes are behaving oddly. When the form with an edit box first comes up, with data in the edit box, a tap on the edit box (which should allow mdification of that data) clears the edit box. Thereafter, any non-numeric text entered into the edit box is appended to the right hand end, not where the cursor is.
Any ideas please?
What version? D13 ok here. Any code attached to the TEdit (I assume)? Any theme?
12.3. Nothing special attached to the edit boxes, though it did start when I put EditBox.SetFocus in. Then it went crazy, emptying the edit box at the SetFocus. Took that out, but the odd behaviour persists. While I have done a “clean” I have not tried refreshing the libraries.
Have you tried a new project with one TEdit?
Tried a new project with tEdit, and it worked fine.
Reset the library files on the big project - no change.
Looked at every tEdit setting I could find - no help.
Deleted the main tEdit and put it in again - no help. (Mind you, there are something like 30 files in the project and a lot of tEdits, and they are all acting up the same!)

If you hover over the TEdit component in the Delphi source editor you should get the an indication of the dcu being used at that time.
Perhaps you are using a dcu that is still in the path.

Hovering gave:
Name: TEdit
Unit: FMX.Edit
Package dclfmxstd290.bpl
Nothing about a dcu.
I copied all the .pas and .fmx files to a new subdirectory and fired it up, but got the same problems. Fortunately I have a backup, nearly up to date (just missing today’s edits) and its Edits work ok, so I will go back to it and just put bits in little by little and see if it still works at the end!
Did the above - and it all works now. But I still have no idea why it produced that funny effect that wiped out many hours of my day!
Thanks for your ideas and suggestions.
Chester, do you have Beyond Compare ?
A great tool for identifying differences in different project versions (where each version is in it’s own unique folder).
Or good old windiff, which still works
Good thought - thanks!
Chester.
