When the regex does not match when calling the setText function then the edit box contents will be cleared. When it does not match when the user types a character in the edit box, then the input character is rejected.

Examples:

edit1->setInputValidator(EditBox::Validator::Int);

edit2->setInputValidator("[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*");

tgui::EditBox::Validator::Int

static TGUI_API const char * Int

◆ setPasswordCharacter()

void tgui::EditBox::setPasswordCharacter ( char32_t passwordChar )

Sets a password character.

Parameters

passwordChar The new password character. If set to 0 then there is no password character
