Detailed Description

Text area widget.

A text area is a multi-line input box which supports word-wrap and a vertical scrollbar. If you are looking for a single line input field then check out the EditBox class.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addText()

void tgui::TextArea::addText ( const String text)

Appends some text to the text that was already in the text area.

Parameters
textText that will be added to the text that is already in the text area

◆ clone()

Widget::Ptr tgui::TextArea::clone ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Makes a copy of the widget if you don't know its exact type.

This function should only be used when you don't know the type of the widget. If you know what kind of widget you are copying, you should use the copy function.

Returns
Copy of the widget

Implements tgui::Widget.

◆ copy()

static TextArea::Ptr tgui::TextArea::copy ( TextArea::ConstPtr  textArea)
static

Makes a copy of another text area.

Parameters
textAreaThe other text area
Returns
The new text area

◆ create()

static TextArea::Ptr tgui::TextArea::create ( )
static

Creates a new text area widget.

Returns
The new text area

◆ draw()

void tgui::TextArea::draw ( BackendRenderTarget target,
RenderStates  states 
) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Draw the widget to a render target.

Parameters
targetRender target to draw to
statesCurrent render states

Implements tgui::Widget.

◆ enableMonospacedFontOptimization()

void tgui::TextArea::enableMonospacedFontOptimization ( bool  enable = true)

Changes whether an optimization is made that only works when using a monospaced font.

Parameters
enableWhether the optimization should be enabled

Rearranging text when a horizontal scrollbar is enabled can be almost as expensive as the word-wrap which is performed when there is no horizontal scrollbar. When using a monospaced font there is no need for such expensive calculation. Call this function when using a monospaced font to make changing the text faster.

This function has no effect when the horizontal scrollbar is disabled (default).

◆ getCaretPosition()

std::size_t tgui::TextArea::getCaretPosition ( ) const

Returns after which character the blinking cursor is currently located.

Returns
Characters before the caret

This function is an alias for getSelectionEnd.

◆ getDefaultText()

const String & tgui::TextArea::getDefaultText ( ) const

Returns the default text of the text area. This is the text drawn when the text area is empty.

Returns
The default text of the text area

◆ getHorizontalScrollbarPolicy()

Scrollbar::Policy tgui::TextArea::getHorizontalScrollbarPolicy ( ) const

Returns when the horizontal scrollbar should be displayed.

Returns
The policy for displaying the horizontal scrollbar

The default policy is Never, which means word-wrap will be used to keep the text within the TextArea.

◆ getHorizontalScrollbarValue()

unsigned int tgui::TextArea::getHorizontalScrollbarValue ( ) const

Returns the thumb position of the horizontal scrollbar.

Returns
Value of the horizontal scrollbar

◆ getLinesCount()

std::size_t tgui::TextArea::getLinesCount ( ) const

Returns the amount of lines that the text occupies in the TextArea.

Returns
Lines of text

Note that this is the amount of lines after word-wrap is applied.

◆ getMaximumCharacters()

std::size_t tgui::TextArea::getMaximumCharacters ( ) const

Returns the maximum character limit.

Returns
The character limit The function will return 0 when there is no limit.

There is no character limit by default.

◆ getRenderer()

TextAreaRenderer * tgui::TextArea::getRenderer ( )

Returns the renderer, which gives access to functions that determine how the widget is displayed.

Returns
Temporary pointer to the renderer
Warning
After calling this function, the widget has its own copy of the renderer and it will no longer be shared.

◆ getSelectedText()

String tgui::TextArea::getSelectedText ( ) const

Returns the text that you currently have selected.

Returns
The selected text of the text area

◆ getSelectionEnd()

std::size_t tgui::TextArea::getSelectionEnd ( ) const

Returns the index where the selection ends.

The selection end always equals the caret position.

Note that the start of the selection may be behind the end of the selection when the user selected the text from right to left or from bottom to top.

Returns
Amount of characters before the end of the selection

◆ getSelectionStart()

std::size_t tgui::TextArea::getSelectionStart ( ) const

Returns the index where the selection starts.

When no text is selected, this function returns the same getSelectionEnd.

Note that the start of the selection may be behind the end of the selection when the user selected the text from right to left or from bottom to top.

Returns
Amount of characters before the start of the selection

◆ getSharedRenderer()

TextAreaRenderer * tgui::TextArea::getSharedRenderer ( )

Returns the renderer, which gives access to functions that determine how the widget is displayed.

Returns
Temporary pointer to the renderer that may be shared with other widgets using the same renderer

◆ getSignal()

Signal & tgui::TextArea::getSignal ( String  signalName)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Retrieves a signal based on its name.

Parameters
signalNameName of the signal
Returns
Signal that corresponds to the name
Exceptions
Exceptionwhen the name does not match any signal

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

◆ getText()

String tgui::TextArea::getText ( ) const

Returns the text of the text area.

Returns
The text that is currently inside the text area

◆ getVerticalScrollbarPolicy()

Scrollbar::Policy tgui::TextArea::getVerticalScrollbarPolicy ( ) const

Returns when the vertical scrollbar should be displayed.

Returns
The policy for displaying the vertical scrollbar

The default policy is Automatic, which means it only shows when the text doesn't fit inside the TextArea.

◆ getVerticalScrollbarValue()

unsigned int tgui::TextArea::getVerticalScrollbarValue ( ) const

Returns the thumb position of the vertical scrollbar.

Returns
Value of the vertical scrollbar

◆ isMouseOnWidget()

bool tgui::TextArea::isMouseOnWidget ( Vector2f  pos) const
overridevirtual

Returns whether the mouse position (which is relative to the parent widget) lies on top of the widget.

Returns
Is the mouse on top of the widget?

Implements tgui::Widget.

◆ isReadOnly()

bool tgui::TextArea::isReadOnly ( ) const

Checks if the text area read-only or writable.

Returns
Is the text area read-only?

When the text area is read-only, you can no longer delete characters and type text. Selecting text, copying text and even calling the setText function will still work.
