---------
I have three EditNumber elements in a modal dialog. Two represent a frame range (i.e.: 0(min)-90(max)), and the other represents a step value (every nth frame).

Initially, it is easy to set the limits. The step value is limited from 1 to max. But if the min or max is changed, I need to reset the step limit accordingly (so that it is not greater than max-min. I understand that I should use GeModalDialog::Message(), but how? As numbers are typed, the limit does not follow. What I really need to know is how to determine when entry is complete or follow it properly. I want these limits set while the dialog is opened, not after close.

Thanks,
Robert

Oh, and that's supposed to be C++ only!

I found a solution, albeit rather ugly.

Since the only messages you get with the gadget ID are as the text is entered, CLEAR_FOCUS is used instead to call a method to check and correct all values according to these necessary limits - I can at least partially guarantee that entry is complete.

CheckValueRanges(), how do I put it, sucks. It works in just the way that I wouldn't want. I cannot use it and check the values on the way out of the dialog as well (with OK) - it either closes the dialog anyway (despite my and its protestations) or won't let it close at all. What use is this method? At least my method works both ways - interactively and during close.
