I know that this subject came through here before, but despite the notes
that I took and the bits I recall, I can't get ActivateGadget() to work
(maybe I'm stupid ...)

1. I have two string gadgets (text) attached to a borderless backdrop
   window.  I wish to activate the first of these gadgets with the
   ActivateGadget() function, but this function refuses to do the job
   it seems to be designed for, and continues to return 0 (failure)
   regardless what I do.

   Is there anything I should know about activating a gadget under
   program control?  Any tricks, flag combinations that work or
   don't work?  Known bugs?  Why would ActivateGadget() fail?

   The only docs I have are 1.2

2. Also, I'm trying to get the gadget text (as entered by the user) to
   render with colors 1 on 3 but the gadget seems to insist on colors
   1 on 0 despite the pen settings in the Screen and Window structures.

Please respond by EMAIL and I'll summarize if there are requests.

Many thanks in advance!

My system: 2000/WB1.3
