CreateEditText

Description

Creates an editable text field control in a dialog layout.

PROCEDURE CreateEditText(
				dialogID          : LONGINT;
				itemID            : LONGINT;
				defaultText       : STRING;
				widthInCharacters : LONGINT);
def vs.CreateEditText(dialogID, itemID, defaultText, widthInCharacters):
    return None

Parameters

Name Type Description
dialogID LONGINT The index of the dialog layout containing the control.
itemID LONGINT The index that will identify the control item.
defaultText STRING The default display text for the control.
widthInCharacters LONGINT The width of the displayed text in characters.

Remarks

In the handler for the new Layout manager, tabbing into and out of an edit field does not produce an event as it did in the classic dialog handler.

Examples

VectorScript

PROCEDURE Example;
VAR
dialog1 :INTEGER;
result  :INTEGER;
PROCEDURE Dialog_Handler(VAR item :LONGINT; data :LONGINT);
BEGIN
END;
BEGIN
dialog1 := CreateLayout('Example Dialog', FALSE, 'OK', 'Cancel');
CreateEditText(dialog1, 4, 'default text', 16);
SetFirstLayoutItem(dialog1, 4);
result := RunLayoutDialog(dialog1, Dialog_Handler);
END;
RUN(Example);

Python

def Dialog_Handler( item , data ):
	pass
def Example():
	dialog1 = vs.CreateLayout('Example Dialog', False, 'OK', 'Cancel')
	vs.CreateEditText(dialog1, 4, 'default text', 16)
	vs.SetFirstLayoutItem(dialog1, 4)
	result = vs.RunLayoutDialog(dialog1, Dialog_Handler)
