Hi Frederick,
Thanks for your feedback,
Unfortunately this didn't solve my problem.
I use kControlEntireControl and it works fine.

release text: you didn't create it.
You are right in that example, well spotted, but since it was not
working I have just used "hello world " as my debug string. (When i
ll get it fixed ) I will revert to CFStringCreateWithFormat to
write what I really want to...

This should work fine for either static text controls or Edit Unicode
Text controls, and probably for for edit text controls as well, but I
haven't used one those for a while now.
You shouldn't be using this nowadays. You should be using a
composited window and calling HIViewSetNeedsDisplay instead.

Not a clue. It works for me, so there must be something else going on
you haven't mentioned.

Try using kControlEditTextPart instead of kControlEntireControl. 10.4
may be more forgiving in this respect (no idea why). Also, don't
release text: you didn't create it.
