Hi everyone,

I have one question concerning Allegro CL IDE.
Actually I don't know how to print in a multi-line-editable-text component.
Please tell me if you have an idea....

Thanks,
Sanja

If I remember right, Franz's text components are instances of streams,
However, that does not mean that you can write to them using (for
example) #'format (though you can surely try).  

I remember there were methods for writing inside them.  The method might 
be for one of the superclases.  so do this:

ask the IDE for all methods that apply to that class.  Also, if I
remember right, there's a switch that let's you include methods that act 
on the superclasses of the class as well (of course, this makes the list 
much bigger).  

good luck,
dave

Not exactly . But every widget is hold in specialized window.

You could also browse the class of the widget window .

Why not using (setf value) ?

Thanks a lot for your answer, it really made me think of other aspects....
I have one more question...
How do I write to the main form which device is text-edit-window?

What is the property for that? I try with

(setf s :form1)

and than print and princ to s...
But I get an error message...

Thanks in advance...
Sanja
