Any ideas on properly loading large binary files (more than 100mb) into texteditor.gadget? Issue is that null bytes (0x00) get treated as string terminators, so content gets truncated. Notepad and MultiEdit seem to handle this: they not only skip 0x00 but also appear to skip something else too, and that no isprint() from ctype.h.

Thanks a bunch ! It helps and clear code a lot. I do use WMHI_INTUITICK already for control ghosting/unghosting states, but with window active is still not that clear. We don't have LayoutActivateGadget, and LM_ACTIVATEGADGET (WM one instead) but you probably mean something like :

// Check if another gadget is active in the top-level layout
                            struct Gadget *layoutGadget = (struct Gadget *)resizableLayout;
                            if (!(layoutGadget->Activation & GACT_ACTIVEGADGET))
                            {
                                // Activate the text editor gadget using the layout
                                IIntuition->IDoMethod(resizableLayout, WM_ACTIVATEGADGET,
                                    (struct Gadget *)textEditor, window, NULL);
                            }

?

This one didn't work, but this one works:

[quote]

// Check if mouse is over the text editor gadget
                        if (mouseX >= editorLeft && mouseX = editorTop && mouseY Activation & GACT_ACTIVEGADGET))
                            {
                                // Activate the text editor gadget directly
                                IIntuition->ActivateGadget((struct Gadget *)textEditor, window, NULL);
                            }
                        }

Anyway, that help only when the mouse over the texteditor , but texteditor not start to be active not after resize of window (because mouse not over it), not after i simple drag window (while it still active), not when i click on the toolbar gadget (but not toolbar buttons), and not when i simple iconify/deiconify, etc. I need it to react like this : if window is active , then texteditor gadget is active and cursor stays.

Same goes to cut/copy/paste : after it texteditor not active if i use toolbar buttons or menu when mouse outside of text editor.

So, thank you for idea with WHMI_INTUITICK, i make it as i want by this:

case WMHI_ACTIVE:
                    // Set flag when window becomes active
                    windowActive = TRUE;
                    break;

                case WMHI_INTUITICK:
                    // Activate text editor if the window is active and no other gadget is active
                    if (window && windowActive)
                    {
                        // Check if another gadget is active in the top-level layout
                        struct Gadget *layoutGadget = (struct Gadget *)resizableLayout;
                        if (!(layoutGadget->Activation & GACT_ACTIVEGADGET))
                        {
                            // Activate the text editor gadget directly
                            IIntuition->ActivateGadget((struct Gadget *)textEditor, window, NULL);
                        }
                    }
                    break;

Then it works as expected ! Yahoo !

Is there a straightforward way to ensure the editor window remains active

Additionally, everywhere that uses the new timer code needs to be checked to make sure no mistakes were made in any other instances.
