TextBox behavior

[Glyn Meek]

When one uses Pocket Word, the 'Cut&Paste' feature is implemented by

1) Selecting a portion of text
2) Using 'tap&hold' to display a context menu, from which one then selects
the cut, paste or copy etc. function.

When trying to implement a similar scheme in our code, we have used a text
box with an associated context menu. When we try to do the above 1) and 2)
steps...

1) Selecting a portion of text (works fine)
2) Using 'tap&hold' to display the context menu (works fine), but then the
'selected text' is not selected any more, so we cannot implement the
individual Copy or Cut commands on the selected text.

What are we missing or doing wrong here to make the textbox control keep the
'selected text' during the context menu processing?

This was a known issue that should have been fixed for SP2. Make sure that
you have the latest service pack (SP3) installed.

Thanks Tim...this was actually an 'Emulator' issue, so I guess I'll have to
test it on the actual Pocket PC, correct, since the SP3 will only fix the
Pocket PC?

A SP3 end developer redistributable is coming
(http://www.google.ca/groups?hl=en&lr=&[email protected]
m). You can always push SP2 to the emulator and then run the CAB manually.
