Re: Standard File Dialogs and Controls

John MacLean is frustrated with...
>EditLine controls [in] a standard file (save) dialog?

Forget it... can't be done... blah blah... :)

Seriously, this has been a problem since the world was new, etc.
The EditLine never gets actual characters (A..F) because the SF
list steals them quite flawlessly... You _can_ get numbers though,
(or could pre-6.0 which was the last time I had it almost working)
but that's almost useless.  Dave can come out with a bunch of real
reasons why this doesn't work... most notably is the fact that the
SF stuff still relies heavily on the Dialog Manager while some of
the neat controls are (really) extended (read 5.0+) controls that
are handled specially within SF... all SFP stuff still has to fall
within the Dialog Manager limitations.

There are two ways to write bug-free code and only the third one works!
