Hello,

in my toolbar I've added an editstring. In it I want to show the filename currently in use. I know the status bar is better place for this but I want save space in my page.
First I engaged a terrible struggle with the editstring that appeared microscopic. When I lost the hope I've found a hint on the forum:

bar.Add(edts, edts.AddFrameSize(200,15));

and I won the battle.
index.php?t=getfile&id=146&private=0

But then I lost the war because it refused to adjourn its content. I mean it is unsensitive to the command <<= like in this snippet:

void  VegaTab4::Load(const String& name)
{
	editor.Set(LoadFile(name));
	//edts <<= name;     //doesn't work  
	//edts.SetText(name); //doesn't work
	edts <<= "prova";    //doesn't work
	editor.ClearModify();
}

So, is it possible to send a string in the editstring embeded in a toolbar?

PS: the editstring is seteditable to false, but it doesn't work even it it set to true.
