DIF_VAREDIT
The DIF_VAREDIT flag is the "512 bytes barrier overcoming for an edit box". The Dialog Manager, while working with an edit box or a combo box (with DIF_VAREDIT flag set) will take into account only Ptr.* members of the FarDialogItem structure.
Controls
The DIF_VAREDIT flag is applicable to the following dialog items:
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| DI_COMBOBOX | Combo box. |
| DI_EDIT | Edit box. |
Remarks
- The plugin itself must take care of memory allocation for FarDialogItem.Ptr.PtrData and fill in the size of this buffer correctly (FarDialogItem.Ptr.PtrLength).
- If the size of the data being used does not exceed 512 bytes (or sizeof(FarDialogItem.Data)), then there is no sence in using the DIF_VAREDIT flag.
