Creating a presenter/view pair for win32 control

Hi all,

I'm evaluating a third party WYSIWYG HTML editor Win32 control. I tried  
creating a ValueConvertingControlView subclass and overrode #winClassName,  
#displayValue, #displayValue: (those 3 seems the only "compulsory" methods  
on first run). However when I do a "MyView show" and then close it, the  
system font, ie. the fonts in the method browser, card containers etc all  
appeared as bold. I traced it till the WM_DESTROY message, and it looks  
like the original window procedure of the control is causing this (I don't  
have the source code). Am I doing it correctly? Or does it mean that the  
window procedure is doing something funny, and I should go back to the  
author? Are there any guidelines on how to create presenter/view classes  
for new controls? ie. besides the image examples :)

This sound like an effect I once had with the IP control. It seems that
the control you are using is freeing the Font Dolphin provides. You
basically have to provide a copy of the Font instead of the Font itself.

Take a look at the following thread:

CU,

Ahh... Should have remember reading this thread.. Manually setting the  
font after #show-ing doesn't work, but Blair's #setFont override seems to  
work though. Thanks!
