Hi guys, trying to create a string gadget where th 1st n characters are read only.
First try was with MUIA_String_Bufferpos, but that doesnt seen to trigger a notify.

Now looking into supplying my own edithook but cant find much of docu..

So how do I check wether user moved cursor to far right and than eat that event ?

Edithooks are unsupported.

Subclassing string object might help with your requirement.

search for MUI_EventHandlerRC_Eat for example.

you could use two string gadgets, first readonly, second editable.
Use no space between them and put a string-frame around both string-gads.
