Edit Box Focus bug

[Spike]

This is a strange one. I'm attempting to build a data editor (for personal use only mind) and am adding a few convenience features into it. The editor uses about 300 edit boxes, but I can't see to set focus on any edit box after the 47th.

Basically, for every edit box after the 47th - nothing I do will cause it to set focus. You can try it by using the arrow keys about, which will move the focus around the top 4 rows fine, but anything after that it refuses to do. The strange thing is it still has a focus of sorts (see the counter at the bottom of the app - which displays what the currently selected edit box is), but it cannot actually be edited.

It's not super important but it IS very strange.

Spike. If I understood your post correctly, the focus order goes in the order the edit box was created, otherwise you must set focus manually.

No no, that is what i've done. But when you try and set the focus to one of the Edit boxes beyond the 48th, it refuses to do so via events.

This is happening because many of your events to create an Edit Box are missing a condition. For example, you have this:

-On Loop "nametext1"
-LoopIndex("nametext1") >= 36

In this event, you forgot to restrict the actions to loop indexes below 48. This means that after loop 36, 2 Edit Boxes will be created per fast loop, causing your selection system not to work.

Ah right. That would explain it. Thanks.
