EditBox problem

[Sorian]

I am trying to add an input box the the in-game addon options panel. I am adding the current value into the box, but it is off the left side of the box, so you cant see it unless you click the box and hit the left arrow so it scrolls. Any ideas why this might be happening?

Basically, the box appears empty, until you click it and scroll left.

I have tried adjusting the insets and centering the text in the box, neither of which worked.

CreateFrame("EditBox", "CR_EditBox_Stone", InterfaceOptionsFrame, "InputBoxTemplate")
CR_EditBox_Stone:SetWidth(30)
CR_EditBox_Stone:SetHeight(28)
CR_EditBox_Stone:SetAutoFocus(false)
CR_EditBox_Stone:SetNumeric(true)
CR_EditBox_Stone:SetMaxLetters(2)
CR_EditBox_Stone:SetFontObject("GameFontNormal")
CR_EditBox_Stone:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", CR_CheckButton_Stone, "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, 0)

Try a CR_EditBox_Stone:SetCursorPosition(0) in there? Might have to follow with a ClearFocus, I'm not sure if SetCursorPosition causes it start receiving keyboard input or not.

Are you setting the value via InsertText or SetText? Sounds like they might behave differently.

I have tried SetText and SetNumber.

I will try your suggestion and report back.

That appears to have solved my problem, thanks.

For the record, I just wanted to add that :SetCursorPosition(0) by itself does solve the problem.

Thanks a million for this post, I didn't even know that this was the problem I was having until I read this thread. I just kept wondering why my editboxes were always empty.
