<H3>Description</H3>
|
||
<P>This is the FLTK text input widget. It displays a single line of text
|
||
and lets the user edit it. Normally it is drawn with an inset box and
|
||
a white background. The text may contain any characters (even 0), and
|
||
will correctly display anything, using ^X notation for unprintable
|
||
control characters and \nnn notation for unprintable characters with
|
||
the high bit set. It assumes the font can draw any characters in the
|
||
ISO-8859-1 character set.

|

a <A href="events.html#compose">compose-character</A>
|
||
sequence. The next one or two keys typed define the character to
|
||
insert (see table that follows.)
|
||
|
||
<p>For instance, to type "<22>" type [compose][a]['] or [compose]['][a].
|
||
|
||
<P>The character "nbsp" (non-breaking space) is typed by using
|
||
[compose][space].
|
||
|
||
<P>The single-character sequences may be followed by a space if
|
||
necessary to remove ambiguity. For instance, if you really want to
|
||
type "<22>~" rather than "<22>" you must type [compose][a][space][~].
|
||
|
||
<p>The same key may be used to "quote" control characters into the
|
||
text. If you need a <tt>^Q</tt> character you can get one by typing
|
||
[compose][Control+Q].
|
||
|
||
<p>X may have a key on the keyboard
|
||
defined as <tt>XK_Multi_key</tt>. If so this key may be used as well
|
||
as the right-hand control key. You can set this up with the program
|
||
<tt>xmodmap</tt>.
|
||
|
||
<p>If your keyboard is set to support a foreign language you should
|
||
also be able to type "dead key" prefix characters. On X you will
|
||
actually be able to see what dead key you typed, and if you then move
|
||
the cursor without completing the sequence the accent will remain
|
||
inserted.

<H4><A name=Fl_Input.Fl_Input>Fl_Input::Fl_Input(int x, int y, int w,
|
||
int h, const char *label = 0)</A></H4>
|
||
Creates a new <TT>Fl_Input</TT> widget using the given position, size,
|
||
and label string. The default boxtype is <TT>FL_DOWN_BOX</TT>.
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Input.~Fl_Input>virtual Fl_Input::~Fl_Input()</A></H4>
|
||
Destroys the widget and any value associated with it.
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Input.value>const char *Fl_Input::value() const
|
||
<BR> int Fl_Input::value(const char*)
|
||
<BR> int Fl_Input::value(const char*, int)</A></H4>
|
||
The first form returns the current value, which is a pointer to the
|
||
internal buffer and is valid only until the next event is handled.
|
||
<P>The second two forms change the text and set the mark and the point
|
||
to the end of it. The string is copied to the internal buffer. Passing <TT>
|
||
NULL</TT> is the same as "". This returns non-zero if the new value is
|
||
different than the current one. You can use the second version to
|
||
directly set the length if you know it already or want to put nul's in
|
||
the text. </P>
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Input.static_value>int Fl_Input::static_value(const
|
||
char*)
|
||
<BR> int Fl_Input::static_value(const char*, int)</A></H4>
|
||
Change the text and set the mark and the point to the end of it. The
|
||
string is <I>not</I> copied. If the user edits the string it is copied
|
||
to the internal buffer then. This can save a great deal of time and
|
||
memory if your program is rapidly changing the values of text fields,
|
||
but this will only work if the passed string remains unchanged until
|
||
either the <TT>Fl_Input</TT> is destroyed or <TT>value()</TT> is called
|
||
again.
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Input.size>int Fl_Input::size() const</A></H4>
|
||
Returns the number of characters in <TT>value()</TT>. This may be
|
||
greater than <TT>strlen(value())</TT> if there are nul characters in
|
||
it.
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Input.index>char Fl_Input::index(int) const</A></H4>
|
||
Same as <TT>value()[n]</TT>, but may be faster in plausible
|
||
implementations. No bounds checking is done.
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Input.when>Fl_When Fl_Widget::when() const
|
||
<BR> void Fl_Widget::when(Fl_When)</A></H4>
|
||
Controls when callbacks are done. The following values are useful,
|
||
the default value is <TT>FL_WHEN_RELEASE</TT>:
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI><TT>0</TT>: The callback is not done, but <TT>changed()</TT> is
|
||
turned on. </LI>
|
||
<LI><TT>FL_WHEN_CHANGED</TT>: The callback is done each time the text
|
||
is changed by the user. </LI>
|
||
<LI><TT>FL_WHEN_RELEASE</TT>: The callback will be done when this
|
||
widget loses the focus, including when the window is unmapped. This
|
||
is a useful value for text fields in a panel where doing the callback
|
||
on every change is wasteful. However the callback will also happen if
|
||
the mouse is moved out of the window, which means it should not do
|
||
anything visible (like pop up an error message). You might do better
|
||
setting this to zero, and scanning all the items for <TT>changed()</TT>
|
||
when the OK button on a panel is pressed. </LI>
|
||
<LI><TT>FL_WHEN_ENTER_KEY</TT>: If the user types the Enter key, the
|
||
entire text is selected, and the callback is done if the text has
|
||
changed. Normally the Enter key will navigate to the next field (or
|
||
insert a newline for a <TT>Fl_Mulitline_Input</TT>), this changes the
|
||
behavior. </LI>
|
||
<LI><TT>FL_WHEN_ENTER_KEY|FL_WHEN_NOT_CHANGED</TT>: The Enter key will
|
||
do the callback even if the text has not changed. Useful for command
|
||
fields. </LI>
|
||
</UL>
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Input.textcolor>Fl_Color Fl_Input::textcolor() const
|
||
<BR> void Fl_Input::textcolor(Fl_Color)</A></H4>
|
||
Gets or sets the color of the text in the input field.
|
||
<H4><A name=Fl_Input.textfont>Fl_Font Fl_Input::textfont() const
|
||
<BR> void Fl_Input::textfont(Fl_Font)</A></H4>
