Returns
Is the edit box read-only?

When the edit box 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.

◆ isTextWidthLimited()

TGUI_NODISCARD bool tgui::EditBox::isTextWidthLimited ( ) const

Checks if the text width is limited to the size of the edit box.

Returns
Is the text width limit or not

◆ keyPressed()

void tgui::EditBox::keyPressed ( const Event::KeyEvent event)
overridevirtual

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

◆ leftMousePressed()

bool tgui::EditBox::leftMousePressed ( Vector2f  pos)
overridevirtual

Called by the parent when the left mouse button goes down on top of the widget.

Parameters
posMouse position in view coordinates relative to the parent widget
Returns
True if the clicked part of the widget is draggable, i.e. if the widget should continue to receive mouse move events until the mouse is released, even when the mouse leaves the widget. When false is returned, the mouse move events will only be sent to the widget as long as the mouse is on top of the widget.

Reimplemented from tgui::ClickableWidget.

◆ limitTextWidth()

void tgui::EditBox::limitTextWidth ( bool  limitWidth = true)

Should the text width be limited or should you be able to type even if the edit box is full?

Parameters
limitWidthShould there be a text width limit or not

When set to true, you will no longer be able to add text when the edit box is full. The default value is false.

◆ load()

void tgui::EditBox::load ( const std::unique_ptr< DataIO::Node > &  node,
const LoadingRenderersMap &  renderers 
)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Loads the widget from a tree of nodes.

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

◆ mouseMoved()

void tgui::EditBox::mouseMoved ( Vector2f  pos)
overridevirtual

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

◆ rendererChanged()

void tgui::EditBox::rendererChanged ( const String property)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Function called when one of the properties of the renderer is changed.

Parameters
propertyName of the property that was changed

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

◆ save()

TGUI_NODISCARD std::unique_ptr< DataIO::Node > tgui::EditBox::save ( SavingRenderersMap &  renderers) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Saves the widget as a tree node in order to save it to a file.

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

◆ selectText()

void tgui::EditBox::selectText ( std::size_t  start = 0,
std::size_t  length = String::npos 
)

Selects text in the edit box.

Parameters
startThe index of the first character to select
lengthAmount of character to select

When no parameters are provided, the entire text is selected.

◆ setAlignment()

void tgui::EditBox::setAlignment ( Alignment  alignment)

Changes the text alignment.

Parameters
alignmentThe new text alignment

◆ setCaretPosition()

void tgui::EditBox::setCaretPosition ( std::size_t  charactersBeforeCaret)

Sets the blinking caret to after a specific character.

Parameters
charactersBeforeCaretThe new position

◆ setDefaultText()

void tgui::EditBox::setDefaultText ( const String text)

Changes the default text of the editbox. This is the text drawn when the edit box is empty.

This text is not affected by the password character.

Parameters
textThe new default text

◆ setEnabled()

void tgui::EditBox::setEnabled ( bool  enabled)
overridevirtual

Enables or disables the widget.

Parameters
enabledIs the widget enabled?

The disabled widget will no longer receive events and thus no longer send callbacks. All widgets are enabled by default.

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

◆ setFocused()

void tgui::EditBox::setFocused ( bool  focused)
overridevirtual

Focus or unfocus the widget.

Parameters
focusedIs the widget focused?

When a widget is focused, the previously focused widget will be unfocused.

Warning
This function only works properly when the widget was already added to its parent (e.g. the Gui).

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

◆ setInputValidator()

bool tgui::EditBox::setInputValidator ( const String regex = U".*")

Defines how the text input should look like.

Parameters
regexValid regular expression for std::regex to match on text changes
Returns
True when validator was changed, false when std::regex_error was thrown internally.

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]*");
static TGUI_API const char32_t * Int
Accept negative and positive integers.
Definition EditBox.hpp:80

◆ setMaximumCharacters()

void tgui::EditBox::setMaximumCharacters ( unsigned int  maxChars)

Changes the character limit.

Parameters
maxCharsThe new character limit. Set it to 0 to disable the limit

This character limit is disabled by default.

◆ setPasswordCharacter()

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

Sets a password character.

Parameters
passwordCharThe new password character. If set to 0 then there is no password character

When the text width is limited then this function might remove the last characters in the text if they no longer fit in the EditBox. You can avoid this by setting LimitTextWidth to false (which is the default).

◆ setReadOnly()

void tgui::EditBox::setReadOnly ( bool  readOnly = true)

Makes the edit box read-only or make it writable again.

Parameters
readOnlyShould the edit box be read-only?

When the edit box 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.

◆ setSize() [1/3]

virtual void tgui::Widget::setSize ( const Layout2d size)
virtual

Changes the size of the widget.

Parameters
sizeSize of the widget

Usage examples:

// Give the widget an exact size
widget->setSize({40, 30});
// Give the widget a size relative to the size of its parent
widget->setSize({"20%", "5%"});
// Make the widget 50 pixels higher than some other widget and automatically resize it when the other widget resizes
widget->setSize({200, tgui::bindHeight(otherWidget) + 50});

This setSize overload must never be used from internal TGUI code or by custom widget implementations

◆ setSuffix()

void tgui::EditBox::setSuffix ( const String suffix)

Places a suffix at the right side of the edit box.
