Title: Backspace and Delete in Plugins
Post by: Tanoshimi on June 14, 2007, 10:27:08 am

I've searched the boards, and I notice this is a recurring theme.  My plugin has a textbox, but when you hit Delete, nothing happens (at least nothing I can see, I'd hate to think the currently playing song is getting deleted).  If you hit Backspace it goes to the previous view. 

I understand why this happens.  MC12 is trapping those keys before they reach the Plugin phase, and operating on them.  The question is, is there a work around, or will the MC staff stop this?  It seems a bit ridiculous to give us the ability to create plugins, but not allow us access to the backspace key. 

I'm having trouble with a RichTextBox, but I seem to recall not having trouble with a normal TextBox (VB6).

Any suggestions or ideas?

it was a problem before and was fixed for standard text boxes but it may be a problem only with the richtextbox and MC.

You Could Put, If the user Clicks On the textBox, That A New Form with textBox Pops Up With The Data In A RichTextbox.

I think this my be out of reach of Media Centers Rogue Blade Runner (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/)) keyboard trapping Tentacles.

Maybe JRiver Will Help A Fella Out.

I had to jump through some extreme hoops to
get the the text editor working with my .NET script plugin.
I would add my vote for JRiver making this easier.
