Re: [mcclim-devel] stupid newbie question re: initializing text-field

The Goatee editable area object, which contains the buffer, is not initialized until the first redisplay happens, so it is impossible to access the buffer before then. Hence, you cannot use (setf gadget-value) on a text-field or text-editor gadget in McCLIM before your command loop is running and the gadget has been redisplayed at least once. I'm pretty sure this is a bug in McCLIM (if anyone wants to fix it, look at the definition of `handle-repaint' for `text-field-pane' in gadget.lisp line 2542).

DREI obviates this problem. So a double "thank you" is owed by me to you. Thanks, doubly!
