Re: Insert mode

I had added some logging in also to verify the mode was being changed, and
it is. I also turn off the prefixArea in there and that sticks, but
insertMode does not. I'm guessing they turn it off after initialization
and before display so it acts more like SEU.

I can confirm this behaviour. When 'Set insertMode on' runs in
preload(), the setting is made, but overwritten later.

I tried adding a listener for the 'shown' action and that seems to work.
Caution: I am NOT a Java programmer! The code is probably funny-looking :-)

package com.kc2hiz.lpexextensions;

import com.ibm.lpex.core.LpexView;
import com.ibm.lpex.core.LpexViewAdapter;

public class UserProfile {

public static void userProfile(LpexView lpexView) {


// register a listener for when the view is shown

lpexView.addLpexViewListener(new LpexViewAdapter() {
// called after the updateProfile command has completed
public void shown(LpexView view) {
handleShown(view);
}
});

}

// runs when the view is finished being displayed
// called by LpexViewListener
protected static void handleShown(LpexView view) {
// force insert mode
view.doDefaultCommand("set insertMode on");
}

}
