Hi All,

I have been trying to link an Ace multilineeditbox to ForAllIndentsAndPurposes.
That Link is done by passing the editbox into FAIAP and then FAIAP adds itself to some of the text boxes methods. WeakAuras has done this so I know it can be done.

WeakAuras loads FAIAP after the WOWACE libs and then calls
IndentationLib:enable(premacrobox.editBox, nil, 2)

I'm trying the same thing and I get the below stack trace.

If I call premacrobox.editBox:GetMaxBytes() I get a value back. I can also call SetMaxBytes but once the object is passed for FAIAP all the methods become nil.

From editor-core

IndentationLib:enable(sequencebox.editBox, SyntaxColors, TAB_WIDTH) <-- is exactly how WeakAuras hook this function.

function GSSE:drawstandardwindow(container)
  local sequencebox = AceGUI:Create("MultiLineEditBox")
  sequencebox:SetLabel("Sequence")
  sequencebox:SetNumLines(20)
  sequencebox:DisableButton(true)
  sequencebox:SetFullWidth(true)
  sequencebox:SetText(sequenceboxtext:GetText())
--  sequencebox.editBox:SetMaxBytes(0)
--  sequencebox.editBox:SetMaxLetters(0)
  --[B]IndentationLib:enable(sequencebox.editBox, SyntaxColors, TAB_WIDTH)[/B]
  container:AddChild(sequencebox)

  local updbutton = AceGUI:Create("Button")
  updbutton:SetText("Create / Edit")
  updbutton:SetWidth(200)
  updbutton:SetCallback("OnClick", function() GSSE:updateSequence(currentSequence) end)
  container:AddChild(updbutton)
  sequenceboxtext = sequencebox
end

Enable function on FAIAP

    function lib.enable(editbox, colorTable, tabWidth)
        if not editboxSetText then
            editboxSetText = editbox.SetText
            editboxGetText = editbox.GetText
        end

        local modified
        if editbox.faiap_colorTable ~= colorTable then
            editbox.faiap_colorTable = colorTable
            modified = true
        end
        if editbox.faiap_tabWidth ~= tabWidth then
            editbox.faiap_tabWidth = tabWidth
            modified = true
        end

        if enabled[editbox] then
            if modified then
                lib.indentEditbox(editbox)
            end
            return
        end

        -- Editbox is possibly hooked, but disabled
        enabled[editbox] = true

        editbox.oldMaxBytes = editbox:GetMaxBytes() -- Fails with a nil here on GetMaxBytes()
        editbox.oldMaxLetters = editbox:GetMaxLetters() -- Fails with a nil here on GetMaxLetters()
        editbox:SetMaxBytes(0) -- Fails with a nil here on SetMaxBytes()
        editbox:SetMaxLetters(0) -- Fails with a nil here on SetMaxLetters()

        editbox.GetText = newGetText
        editbox.SetText = newSetText

        hookHandler(editbox, "OnTextChanged", textChangedHook) -- These hook lines also fail with enclosed methods being nil
        hookHandler(editbox, "OnTabPressed", tabPressedHook)
        hookHandler(editbox, "OnUpdate", onUpdateHook)

        lib.indentEditbox(editbox)
    end

Now this works for every other application and example I can find. WeakAuras 2 uses this in their ACEGUI addon. I and they are running the same Ace Versions and FAIAP versions.
