<reinhard> question
<reinhard> dropdowns (or other entries with a list of allowed values
<reinhard> )
<johannesV> like a listbox
<reinhard> currently when a wrong value is entered, the complete entry is deleted and the field is set back to empty
<reinhard> and the cursor moves out of the entry
<reinhard> and no error message is displayed
<reinhard> I consider this a bug and would think the correct behaviour would be
<reinhard> display error message in status line, beep, leave the input as it was (so I can just correct my typo) and leave the focus in the entry
<reinhard> would you agree?
<johannesV> yes
<johannesV> i agree
<jamest> hmmm
<jamest> i'd agree that the dropdown should block invalid input
<jamest> but i'm thinking about situations where input is based upon previous input
<reinhard> this is just about invalid input from field definition
<reinhard> i.e.
<reinhard> not in _allowedValues
<reinhard> invalid date
<reinhard> invalid number
<reinhard> etc
<jamest> lets say that I have a list of vendors "Abes", "Bobs", and "TOms"
<jamest> ah, nevermind
<jamest> :)
<reinhard> the point is
<reinhard> when you now type "Abex" and hit enter
<reinhard> the field is reset to "blank" and you don't even see/hear any feedback
<reinhard> at least that's what it does for me
<reinhard> (did, before the last commit, to be precise)

<reinhard> hmmm
<reinhard> interesting problem
<reinhard> I've managed to block tabbing out of a control as long as the entered value is invalid
<reinhard> so when you hit tab or enter gnue-forms just beeps and shows an error message
<reinhard> however I seem to have no means to block moving the focus to another widget with the mouse
<reinhard> so you can still click out of a control even when the value is invalid
<reinhard> does anybody have any idea about this?

<reinhard> ok, I think I found a solution that behaves fairly reasonable
<reinhard> but I guess it needs testing on different UIS
<reinhard> Us
<reinhard> grr
<reinhard> UIs
<reinhard> I can confirm that it works on gtk2 and wx26
