Question about RISC OS Select Toolbox change log

I have a look at the change log of the RISC OS Select toolbox modules which you can find in this discussion

Many objects have an entry like this:
“SWI Toolbox_GetObjectInfo on a Scale object now returns a more up-to-date indication of whether the dialogue box is actually on screen.”

It is not clear to me what this means. From a look in the code of the RISC OS 5 toolbox my first impression is that everything looks ok and also from using/testing it I don’t see what may need fixing (looked at and tested scale object).

Does anybody know or can imagine?

I can only guess, but does it lose track of the open state if you click adjust on the scale button when it’s open as a submenu? Or you click adjust on another menu item?

Otherwise, I’ve only got Toolbox_GetObjectState in the Acorn manual, so maybe it is specific to whatever GetObjectInfo does?

Yes, that was a good idea – but trying out pressing Adjust seems to be fine. What I did was to call Toolbox_GetObjectState inside of the factor changed event handler. When using Select it returned that the window is closed and when using Adjust it returned open – which is as expected I would say. I tested on both the ROOL and the Select version and they seem to behave the same.

I was also wondering about the methode Toolbox_GetObjectInfo – it is mentioned here and when you click on it you end up with Toolbox_GetObjectState. So I guess it is either a typo or has been renamed at some point in time.

I think it was a very long time ago. I have a pencil correction in my 1994 UIT manual for the change from State to Info.
