Re: [glob2-devel] hopefully a simple thing to add

[Leo Wandersleb]

i'm working on that right now. i suggest to first check for 
relevant nicks and then for other words if that's wanted.

i had to modify GUITextInput.h.
added void setCursorPos(size_t pos){cursPos=pos;};
as setText sets the cursor position to 0 what is very 
unconvinient when typeing a nick.
did i use it in some wrong way or can i savely add 
setCursorPos(text.length()) to the end of setText? or maybe 
remove cursPos=0 from its beginning?

greetings, Leo Wandersleb

p.s.: so far i have added the following very ugly codelines 
to YOGScreen.cpp:221. it's not finished and most likely it 
will not even compile as i didn't compile for several 
changes now. :
        else if (action==TEXT_MODIFIED)
        {
                std::string message = textInput->getText();
                int i=message.length()-1;
                if ((message[i] == 9 ))
                {
                        message=message.substr(0,message.length()-1);
                        std::string beginningOfNick;
                        beginningOfNick=message[i-1];
                        bool noWhiteSpace=true;
                        while((i>0) && noWhiteSpace)
                        {
                                if(message[--i] != " ")
                                        
beginningOfNick=message[--i]+beginningOfNick;
                                else
                                        noWhiteSpace=false;
                        }
                        std::string foundNick;
			for (std::list<YOG::Client>::iterator 
client=yog->clients.begin(); client!=yog->clients.end(); 
++client)
                        {
                                if(client->userName.find(beginnigOfNick,0))
                                {
                                        foundNick=client->userName;
                                        message += " " + foundNick;
                                }
                        }
                        
                        message += " hallo";
                        textInput->setText(message);
                        textInput->setCursorPos(message.length());
                        //yog->sendMessage(textInput->getText());
                        //irc.sendCommand(textInput->getText());
                }
        }
