Input

Input:

Corresponds to: Fl_Input, Fl_Input_

Inherits from: Widget

Constructors

• fl.Input( int X, int Y, int W, int H, *str label ) ==> userdata Widget
• fl.Input{ table entries } ==> userdata Widget

  ( table constructor syntax )

---

Functions

• methods defined for Widget userdata type
• obj:copy( int from ) ==> bool success

  ( 0 selection, 1 clipboard. returns 1 if copied )

• obj:copy_cuts() ==> bool success ( 0 if no change )
• obj:cut() ==> bool success

  ( Delete current selection. return 0 )

• obj:cut( int bytes ) ==> bool success

  ( delete bytes after cursor. return 0 )

• obj:cut( int begin, int end ) ==> bool success

  ( del chars between begin & end. return 0 )

• obj:index( int i ) ==> int char

  ( Return char at index i )

• obj:insert( str text ) ==> bool success

  ( insert text at cursor. return 0 )

• obj:replace( int begin, int end, *str text ) ==> bool success

  ( delete from begin to end, then insert text. return 0 )

• obj:size( int W, int H ) set

  ( width & height of widget )

• obj:undo()

  ( undo changes to text buffer )
