I set up an edit box with a buffer called [u:4ec82608d5]asmfilebuf[/u:4ec82608d5]. I had previously defined that buffer as a global variable with a 'char asmfilebuf[10000]' statement, at the top of the program before any functions or main() is defined.
The edit box also has menus, one of which is 'Open', with the callback function 'EDIT_FILE_OPEN', filter '.', and stringname 'file', which is defined as 'char file[129]'.
If I click on the menu Open, the normal file-open box comes up, letting me browse to find a text file I prepared earlier. I click on that text file and click on 'Open' in the box, and the text file opens in the edit box. This all works as it should, and I can see the contents of the text file in the edit box.
My problem is, I was hoping to find the contents of that text file in the buffer [u:4ec82608d5]asmfilebuf[/u:4ec82608d5].
The sequence is: 1.) I start the program, which opens the edit box. 2.) I click File/Open at the top of the edit box, and open the text file. Its contents appear in the Edit box. 3.) I click another control which prints the text 'asmfilebuf:' and then prints the contents of the [u:4ec82608d5]asmfilebuf[/u:4ec82608d5] buffer and then closes the edit box.
I was hoping to see the contents of the text file printed after 'asmfilebuf:', but all I got was 'asmfilebuf:' followed by nothing.
Is there some way, when I use EDIT_FILE_OPEN, to get the contents of the file I open, into a buffer that can then be copied or printed by other parts of the program?
Relevant code is here:
int asmfilewin(int xul, int yul) /* From 'Help for SCC', 'callback functions' */
{
char file[129];
char new_file[129];
int asmsrcctrl,asmgreyctrl;
writstat('Opening Assembler Source window...');
winio('%ca[Assembler Source]&'); /* Insert window title as caption */
winio('%sp&',xul,yul); /* position asm-src window in pixels */
asmsrcctrl=1;
winio('%mn[&File[&Open,&Save,Save &As,E&xit],&Edit[&Copy,Cu&t,&Paste],&Help[&Contents,&Help on help]]&',
'EDIT_FILE_OPEN', '*.*',file,
'EDIT_FILE_SAVE', '*.*',new_file,
'EDIT_FILE_SAVE_AS','*.*',new_file,
'EXIT',
'COPY','CUT','PASTE',
'HELP_CONTENTS','c:\\\\edithelp.hlp',
'HELP_ON_HELP', 'c:\\\\edithelp.hlp');
winio('%lw&',&asmsrcctrl); /* Leave Asm-src window open */
winio('%ww[no_frame]&'); /* %ww=Window control. Makes window resizeable,
[no_frame] omits thin-line frame inside
window border. Other options available.*/
winio('%pv&'); /* %pv=Pivot. Things to right move right, things
below move down when window is resized. */
winio('%60.20eb[hscrollbar,vscrollbar]&',asmfilebuf,0);
/* Insert edit box for assembly-code source editor */
winio('%ff%`rp&',3.0,1.0); /* move below edit box to place ASSEMBLE button */
asmgreyctrl=1;
winio('%?~^bt[Assemble][Assemble as ARM code]',&asmgreyctrl,assemble_ARM);
return(1);
