Even if it might not be the source of your current problem, when reading your code I get the feeling that you are missing some basic C++ know how.
So you are inheriting from TextEditor and adding a TextEditor member to your class. What’s your intention to do so, or what’s your understanding of the meaning of public TextEditor?
When inheriting from TextEditor your class actually IS A TextEditor. Adding another TextEditor member also means that it has another additional TextEditor. So in fact, there are two independent editors, however, you never use the member editor in your class. So you could delete the member variable.
Furthermore, you inherit from Value::Listener and override one of its virtual member functions. Usual syntax to do so would be
void valueChanged (Value& val) override
{
String s = val.getValue();
setText(s, false);
};
e.g. you don’t need the Value::Listener bit before the valueChanged function because by inheriting from Value::Listener, valueChanged becomes a member function of your class which you override from the base class (and therefore mark it with override).
Now you didn’t really tell what’s not working with your code, however, here is a PIP that demonstrates a version that works:
