Integer gadget class arrows not triggering hook

[Mafi]

Hello again!

I've got an integer gadget in my Reaction app; I've configured STRINGA_EditHook to look for changes etc. If I'm playing around in the actual editor box things work fine. However, clicking on the arrows doesn't trigger the hook even though the value is changing. Is this a bug with the integer.class?

Cheers,

I would not call it a bug, more an oversight.

The EditHook is a function of intuition's builtin STRGCLASS. Both string.gadget and integer.gadget are built around that one. STRGCLASS does not have arrows, therefore Intuition does not call the edit hook for arrow presses. Integer.gadget would have to call the exit outside of intuition. I don't know if this can be expected.

The buttons are updating the STRGCLASS buffer though. The global hook for STRGCLASS should ideally be observing the buffer and firing off that no? I'd expect that would be the class to fix, not integer.gadget.
