## Function Documentation

void DeleteTextBufferAll | ( | Textbuf * | tb | ) |

Delete every character in the textbuffer.

Parameters:

  | tb | Textbuf buffer to be emptied

Definition at line 913 of file misc_gui.cpp.

bool DeleteTextBufferChar | ( | Textbuf * | tb,
|  | int | delmode |
| ) |  |  |

Delete a character from a textbuffer, either with 'Delete' or 'Backspace' The character is delete from the position the caret is at.

Parameters:

  | tb | Textbuf type to be changed
  | delmode | Type of deletion, either WKC_BACKSPACE or WKC_DELETE

Returns:
  Return true on successful change of Textbuf, or false otherwise

Definition at line 896 of file misc_gui.cpp.

void InitializeTextBuffer | ( | Textbuf * | tb,
|  | const char * | buf,
|  | uint16 | maxlength,
|  | uint16 | maxwidth |
| ) |  |  |

Initialize the textbuffer by supplying it the buffer to write into and the maximum length of this buffer.

Parameters:

  | tb | Textbuf type which is getting initialized
  | buf | the buffer that will be holding the data for input
  | maxlength | maximum length in characters of this buffer
  | maxwidth | maximum length in pixels of this buffer. If reached, buffer cannot grow, even if maxlength would allow because there is space. A length of zero '0' means the buffer is only restricted by maxlength

Definition at line 998 of file misc_gui.cpp.

bool InsertTextBufferClipboard | ( | Textbuf * | tb | ) |

Insert a chunk of text from the clipboard onto the textbuffer.

Get TEXT clipboard and append this up to the maximum length (either absolute or screenlength). If maxlength is zero, we don't care about the screenlength but only about the physical length of the string

Parameters:

  | tb | Textbuf type to be changed

Returns:
  Return true on successful change of Textbuf, or false otherwise

Get TEXT clipboard and append this up to the maximum length (either absolute or screenlength). If maxlength is zero, we don't care about the screenlength but only about the physical length of the string

Parameters:

  | tb | Textbuf type to be changed

Returns:
  true on successful change of Textbuf, or false otherwise

bool MoveTextBufferPos | ( | Textbuf * | tb,
|  | int | navmode |
| ) |  |  |

Handle text navigation with arrow keys left/right.

This defines where the caret will blink and the next characer interaction will occur

Parameters:

  | tb | Textbuf type where navigation occurs
  | navmode | Direction in which navigation occurs WKC_LEFT, WKC_RIGHT, WKC_END, WKC_HOME

Returns:
  Return true on successful change of Textbuf, or false otherwise

void ShowQuery | ( | StringID | caption,
|  | StringID | message,
|  | Window * | parent,
|  | void(*)(Window *, bool) | callback |
| ) |  |  |

Show a modal confirmation window with standard 'yes' and 'no' buttons The window is aligned to the centre of its parent.

NOTE: You cannot use BindCString as parameter for this window!

Parameters:

  | caption | string shown as window caption
  | message | string that will be shown for the window
  | parent | pointer to parent window, if this pointer is NULL the parent becomes the main window WC_MAIN_WINDOW
  | callback | callback function pointer to set in the window descriptor

void ShowQueryString | ( | StringID | str,
|  | StringID | caption,
|  | uint | maxlen,
|  | uint | maxwidth,
|  | Window * | parent,
|  | CharSetFilter | afilter |
| ) |  |  |

Show a query popup window with a textbox in it.

Parameters:

  | str | StringID for the text shown in the textbox
  | caption | StringID of text shown in caption of querywindow
  | maxlen | maximum length in characters allowed. If bit 12 is set we will not check the resulting string against to original string to return success
  | maxwidth | maximum width in pixels allowed
  | parent | pointer to a Window that will handle the events (ok/cancel) of this window. If NULL, results are handled by global function HandleOnEditText
  | afilter | filters out unwanted character input

void UpdateTextBufferSize | ( | Textbuf * | tb | ) |

Update Textbuf type with its actual physical character and screenlength Get the count of characters in the string as well as the width in pixels.

Useful when copying in a larger amount of text at once

Parameters:

  | tb | Textbuf type which length is calculated
