texttoolbar visible but inactive

Classic Servoy
1

Hello,

on opening the solution from Developer as SmartClient the first time I can edit text in a RTF_AREA dataprovider by the texttoolbar. But closing the SmartClient (not Servoy Eclipse Developer) and reopen it, the texttoolbar is always inactive. I have created a function [application.setToolbarVisible(‘text’,true);] for the 'onFocusGained ’ property, but always an inactive texttoolbar!
When I quit and restart the Servoy Eclipse Developer and open the SmartClient for the first time again, the texttoolbar is visible and active. Closing and repoen the SmartClient get the inactive texttoolbar once more…

Any suggestion?

Regards Thomas

I never use the text toolbar but isn’t it so that it is enabled based upon the editing status of the text area.
Cursor in the area = enabled, Cursor outside of the area = disabled…

Hi Marcel,

I of course put the cursor in the RTF_AREA to enable the texttoolbar, but that doesn’t work like my discription before.

Hi Thomas,

I have seen this too. In the v4.0.x debug-rich client the toolbars are pretty persistent. When trying to hide them via the menubar it won’t go away or is gone but the menuitem in the menubar still stays checked (and vice-versa).
That covers the text toolbar, the edit toolbar I can’t hide at all it seems.
I see this same behavior in v4.1b3 as well.

Edit: I see you were actually talking about enabling, not hiding. Maybe it’s related I dunno.
