The .Nm widget itself only acts as a container for an .Ft AG_Editable (adding an optional text label, scrollbars and buttons). Direct buffer-access routines are available in .Xr AG_Editable 3 . .Sh INHERITANCE HIERARCHY .Xr AG_Object 3 -> .Xr AG_Widget 3 -> .Nm . .Sh INITIALIZATION .nr nS 1 .Ft "AG_Textbox *" .Fn AG_TextboxNew "AG_Widget *parent" "Uint flags" "const char *format" "..." .Pp .Ft "AG_Textbox *" .Fn AG_TextboxNewS "AG_Widget *parent" "Uint flags" "const char *label" .Pp .Ft "void" .Fn AG_TextboxBindUTF8 "AG_Textbox *textbox" "char *buffer" "AG_Size size" .Pp .Ft "void" .Fn AG_TextboxBindASCII "AG_Textbox *textbox" "char *buffer" "AG_Size size" .Pp .Ft "void" .Fn AG_TextboxBindEncoded "AG_Textbox *textbox" "const char *encoding" "char *buffer" "AG_Size size" .Pp .Ft "void" .Fn AG_TextboxBindText "AG_Textbox *textbox" "AG_Text *txt" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSetLang "AG_Textbox *textbox" "enum ag_language lang" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSetExcl "AG_Textbox *textbox" "int enable" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSetPassword "AG_Textbox *textbox" "int enable" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSetWordWrap "AG_Textbox *textbox" "int enable" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSetIntOnly "AG_Textbox *textbox" "int enable" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSetFltOnly "AG_Textbox *textbox" "int enable" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSetLabel "AG_Textbox *textbox" "const char *format" "..." .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSetLabelS "AG_Textbox *textbox" "const char *label" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSetPlaceholder "AG_Textbox *textbox" "const char *fmt" "..." .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSetPlaceholderS "AG_Textbox *textbox" "const char *s" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSizeHint "AG_Textbox *textbox" "const char *text" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSizeHintPixels "AG_Textbox *textbox" "Uint w" "Uint h" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSizeHintLines "AG_Textbox *textbox" "Uint nLines" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxAutocomplete "AG_Textbox *tb" "void (*fn)(AG_Event *)" "const char *fnArgs" "..." .Pp .nr nS 0 The .Fn AG_TextboxNew function allocates, initializes, and attaches a new .Nm widget. The optional string argument specifies a text label to display at the left of the textbox. Acceptable .Fa flags include: .Bl -tag -width "AG_TEXTBOX_ABANDON_FOCUS " .It AG_TEXTBOX_MULTILINE Causes newlines to be entered literally into the string, and arranges for horizontal and vertical scrollbars to appear if the text is larger than the display area. .It AG_TEXTBOX_WORDWRAP Enable word wrapping in multiline mode. .It AG_TEXTBOX_MULTILINGUAL Allow the user to select different languages from the right-click popup menu (provided the widget is bound to an .Xr AG_TextElement 3 ) . .It AG_TEXTBOX_RETURN_BUTTON Display a RETURN button which generates "textbox-return" when clicked. .It AG_TEXTBOX_EXCL By default, external changes to the contents of the buffer are allowed and handled in a safe manner (at the cost of frequent character set conversions and periodical redrawing of the widget). If .Dv AG_TEXTBOX_EXCL is set, .Nm will assume exclusive access to the buffer, permitting some important optimizations (i.e., periodic redrawing and character set conversions are avoided). .It AG_TEXTBOX_UPPERCASE Display all characters in upper-case. .It AG_TEXTBOX_LOWERCASE Display all characters in lower-case. .It AG_TEXTBOX_PASSWORD Password-style entry where characters are hidden. .Fn AG_TextboxSetPassword sets this flag. .It AG_TEXTBOX_ABANDON_FOCUS Arrange for the widget to abandon its focus when the return key is pressed. .It AG_TEXTBOX_INT_ONLY Restricts input to valid integers only. Use .Fn AG_TextboxSetIntOnly to change at runtime. .It AG_TEXTBOX_FLT_ONLY Restricts input to valid floating-point numbers in decimal and scientific notation ("inf" and the Unicode symbol for Infinity may also be used). Use .Fn AG_TextboxSetFltOnly to change at runtime. .It AG_TEXTBOX_CATCH_TAB Cause tabs to be entered literally into the string (by default, the tab key moves focus to the next widget). .It AG_TEXTBOX_NO_KILL_YANK Disable Kill (ctrl-K) and Yank (ctrl-Y) functions. .It AG_TEXTBOX_NO_ALT_LATIN1 Disable alt-key mappings to extended Latin1 characters. .It AG_TEXTBOX_NOPOPUP Disable the standard right-click popup menu. .It AG_TEXTBOX_READONLY Make the string read-only. This has the same effect as using .Xr AG_WidgetDisable 3 , except that the textbox is not grayed out. .It AG_TEXTBOX_NO_SHADING Disable 3D-style shading around the field. .It AG_TEXTBOX_HFILL Expand horizontally in parent container. .It AG_TEXTBOX_VFILL Expand vertically in parent container. .It AG_TEXTBOX_EXPAND Shorthand for .Dv AG_TEXTBOX_HFILL | AG_TEXTBOX_VFILL . .El .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxBindUTF8 and .Fn AG_TextboxBindASCII connect a textbox to a buffer containing Unicode or US-ASCII, respectively. .Fa size is the size of the buffer in bytes (which must include space for the terminating NUL). .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxBindEncoded binds to a fixed-size buffer containing a C string in the specified encoding. Support for the "US-ASCII" and "UTF-8" encodings is built-in, but conversion to other encodings requires that Agar be compiled with .Xr iconv 3 support (see .Xr iconv_open 3 for the complete list of supported encodings). .Pp .Fn AG_EditableBindText connects the .Nm to a .Xr AG_TextElement 3 object, which can represent text in different languages. .Pp The .Fn AG_EditableSetLang function selects the specified language for the current .Xr AG_TextElement 3 . .Pp The .Fn AG_TextboxSetExcl function sets exclusive access to the buffer. Enable only if the bound string is guaranteed not to change externally (see .Dv AG_TEXTBOX_EXCL flag description above). .Pp The .Fn AG_TextboxSetPassword function enables/disables password-type input, where characters are substituted for .Sq * in the display. .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxSetWordWrap enables/disable word wrapping. .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxSetIntOnly restricts input to integers (see flags) .Fn AG_TextboxSetFltOnly restricts input to real numbers (see flags). .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxSetLabel changes the current label text to the specified string. .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxSetPlaceholder sets the "place holder" text to display when the buffer is empty. An argument of NULL disables placeholder text. .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxSizeHint requests that the initial geometry of .Fa textbox is to be sufficient to display the string .Fa text in its entirety. The .Fn AG_TextboxSizeHintPixels variant accepts arguments in pixels. .Fn AG_TextboxSizeHintLines accepts a number of lines. .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxAutocomplete sets up an autocomplete routine .Fa fn , which will be passed a pointer to an .Xr AG_Tlist 3 as first argument (and a pointer to the .Xr AG_Editable 3 instance as SELF). The autocomplete routine is expected to populate the tlist with suggestions based on the current buffer contents. If the .Fa fn argument is NULL, disable autocomplete (closing any active windows). If an autocomplete context has already been configured, only its function and arguments are updated (and any active timers are cancelled). If non-NULL, .Fa fnArgs indicates additional .Xr AG_Event 3 style arguments to be passed to the autocomplete routine. .Sh CURSOR MANIPULATION .nr nS 1 .Ft int .Fn AG_TextboxMapPosition "AG_Textbox *textbox" "int x" "int y" "int *pos" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxMoveCursor "AG_Textbox *textbox" "int x" "int y" .Pp .Ft int .Fn AG_TextboxGetCursorPos "AG_Textbox *textbox" .Pp .Ft int .Fn AG_TextboxSetCursorPos "AG_Textbox *textbox" "int pos" .Pp .nr nS 0 The .Fn AG_TextboxMapPosition function translates pixel coordinates .Fa x and .Fa y to a character position within the text buffer. On success, the position is returned into .Fa pos . The function returns 0 on success or -1 on failure. .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxMoveCursor moves the text cursor to the position closest to the pixel coordinates .Fa mx and .Fa my . .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxGetCursorPos returns the current position of the cursor in the buffer. The return value is only valid as long as the widget remains locked. .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxSetCursorPos tries to move the cursor to the specified position in the string, after bounds checking is done. If .Fa pos is -1, the cursor is moved to the end of the string. .Fn AG_TextboxSetCursorPos returns the new position of the cursor. .Sh TEXT MANIPULATION .nr nS 1 .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxPrintf "AG_Textbox *textbox" "const char *fmt" "..." .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxSetString "AG_Textbox *textbox" "const char *s" .Pp .Ft void .Fn AG_TextboxClearString "AG_Textbox *textbox" .Pp .Ft "char *" .Fn AG_TextboxDupString "AG_Textbox *textbox" .Pp .Ft "AG_Size" .Fn AG_TextboxCopyString "AG_Textbox *textbox" "char *dst" "AG_Size dst_size" .Pp .Ft "void" .Fn AG_TextboxBufferChanged "AG_Textbox *textbox" .Pp .Ft int .Fn AG_TextboxInt "AG_Textbox *textbox" .Pp .Ft float .Fn AG_TextboxFlt "AG_Textbox *textbox" .Pp .Ft double .Fn AG_TextboxDbl "AG_Textbox *textbox" .Pp .nr nS 0 The .Fn AG_TextboxPrintf function uses .Xr vsnprintf 3 to overwrite the contents of the buffer. If the .Fa fmt argument is NULL, a NUL string is assigned instead. .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxSetString overwrites the contents of the buffer with the given string. The argument may be NULL to clear the string. .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxClearString clears the contents of the buffer. .Pp The .Fn AG_TextboxDupString function returns a copy of the text buffer, as-is. .Fn AG_TextboxCopyString copies the contents of the text buffer to a fixed-size buffer (up to .Fa dst_size - 1 bytes will be copied). Returns the number of bytes that would have been copied were .Fa dst_size unlimited (i.e., if the return value is >= .Fa dst_size , truncation has occurred). Both .Fn AG_TextboxDupString and .Fn AG_TextboxCopyString return the raw contents of the text buffer, without performing any character set conversion. .Pp The .Fn AG_TextboxBufferChanged function signals an outside change in the buffer contents. It is only useful if the .Nm AG_TEXTBOX_STATIC flag is set. .Pp .Fn AG_TextboxInt , .Fn AG_TextboxFlt and .Fn AG_TextboxDbl perform conversion of the string contents to .Ft int .Ft float and .Ft double , respectively and return the value. You probably want to be using the .Xr AG_Numerical 3 widget instead of these functions. .Sh BINDINGS The .Nm widget provides the following bindings: .Pp .Bl -tag -compact -width "char *string " .It Va char *string Fixed-size buffer containing a "C" string (a NUL-terminated string) in the specified encoding (UTF-8 by default). .It Va AG_Text *text Bound .Xr AG_TextElement 3 , which can represent text in different languages. .El .Sh EVENTS The .Nm widget generates the following events: .Bl -tag -width 2n .It Fn textbox-return "void" Return was pressed and .Dv AG_TEXTBOX_MULTILINE is not set. .It Fn textbox-prechg "void" The string is about to be modified. .It Fn textbox-postchg "void" The string was just modified. .El .Sh STRUCTURE DATA For the .Ft AG_Textbox object: .Pp .Bl -tag -compact -width "AG_Editable *ed " .It Ft AG_Editable *ed Pointer to the underlying .Xr AG_Editable 3 widget. .It Ft AG_Label *lbl Pointer to the .Xr AG_Label 3 (if any). A call to .Fn AG_TextboxSetLabel will create a new label object. .It Ft AG_Text *text An initially empty .Xr AG_TextElement 3 used as the default binding (where .Fn AG_TextboxBind* is not used). .El .Sh EXAMPLES The following code fragment binds an .Nm to a fixed-size buffer (which accepts UTF-8 encoding): .Bd -literal -offset indent .\" SYNTAX(c) char name[32]; AG_Textbox *tb; tb = AG_TextboxNew(parent, 0, "Name: "); AG_TextboxBindUTF8(tb, name, sizeof(name)); .Ed .Pp When no specific binding is provided (as in the following case), .Nm uses an internal, built-in text buffer: .Bd -literal -offset indent .\" SYNTAX(c) AG_Textbox *tb; char *s; tb = AG_TextboxNew(parent, 0, "Value: "); AG_TextboxPrintf(tb, "Foo"); /* Retrieve the string. */ s = AG_TextboxDupString(tb); .Ed .Pp An .Xr AG_TextElement 3 can accomodate a potentially large, dynamically-allocated string: .Bd -literal -offset indent .\" SYNTAX(c) AG_TextElement *txt; AG_Textbox *tb; txt = AG_TextNew(0); tb = AG_TextboxNew(parent, AG_TEXTBOX_EXCL | AG_TEXTBOX_MULTILINE, NULL); AG_TextboxBindText(tb, txt); .Ed .Pp The following code fragment sets up a simple autocomplete routine: .Pp .Bd -literal .\" SYNTAX(c) static void MyAutocomplete(AG_Event *event) { const char *dict[] = { "Apple", "Orange", "Banana", NULL }, **dp; AG_Editable *ed = AG_EDITABLE_SELF(); AG_Tlist *tl = AG_TLIST_PTR(1); char *s, *sp; if ((sp = s = AG_EditableDupString(ed)) == NULL) { return; } while (*sp == ' ') /* Strip leading whitespace */ sp++; AG_TlistBegin(tl); for (dp = dictFirst; *dp != NULL; dp++) { if (sp[0] == '\\0' || AG_Strncasecmp(*dp, sp, strlen(sp)) == 0) { AG_TlistAddPtr(tl, NULL, *dp, (void *)*dp); } } AG_TlistEnd(tl); free(s); } ...
