Bug #2293
closedcheck box default text
0%
Description
Name : wt-devel
Arch : x86_64
Version : 3.3.0
Release : 2.fc19
on the prior Wt version if I did not at least specify a null string on a WCheckbox, it would not let me setText later, so I have a bunch of
check_box = new Wt::WCheckbox(""); // need to specify a string, or setText will be refused
in the code. Now with this version (specified above), if I give WCheckbox a null string a lot of weird behavior occurs. I'm getting Wt internal errors, and extraneous default box checking. All of this goes away if I provide a non-null string to the constructor:
check_box = new Wt::WCheckbox("why?"); // need to specify a non null string or bad things happen
man, and this was not obvious, took hours to find and prove this out ... finally found it by accident when messing with the constructors

Hey,
Can you provide a test case which illustrates the bad behaviour? It's indeed the case that if you do create a checkbox without setting a text before the first rendering, you can't add any later since then we render the checkbox as a naked 'input' element. setText() will be ignored, but there shouldn't be any other bad behavior like you describe?

If I leave the checkboxes with just "" as the initial text, so that I can fill them in later, I get funny behavior described above. Just on a lark I set them instead to "#unitialized" and made a bool flag to note whether they had text, and the problems when away.
