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 ( 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

◆ canHandleKeyPress()

bool tgui::TextArea::canHandleKeyPress ( const Event::KeyEvent event)
overridevirtual

Called by the parent of the widget to check if keyPressed would process the event.

Parameters
eventKey event that took place
Returns
True if the event would be handled by the widget, false if the key event doesn't affect the widget
Since
TGUI 1.1

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

◆ clone()

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

Makes a copy of another text area.

Parameters
textAreaThe other text area
Returns
The new text area

◆ create()

static TGUI_NODISCARD 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).

◆ getCaretColumn()

TGUI_NODISCARD std::size_t tgui::TextArea::getCaretColumn ( ) const

Returns which column the blinking cursor is currently located on.

Returns
Characters before the caret on the caret's current line

This function will take word-wrap into account. So, if a caret is on a line that is currently wrapping, the caret will still register as being on the same line even if that line spans many lines in the TextArea.

If the caret is at the beginning of a line, the value will be 1.

◆ getCaretLine()

TGUI_NODISCARD std::size_t tgui::TextArea::getCaretLine ( ) const

Returns which line the blinking cursor is currently located on.

Returns
The line the caret is currently located on

This function will take word-wrap into account. So, if a caret is on a line that is currently wrapping, the caret will still register as being on the same line even if that line spans many lines in the TextArea.

If the value is at the top, the value will be 1.

◆ getCaretPosition()

TGUI_NODISCARD 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()

TGUI_NODISCARD 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()

TGUI_NODISCARD 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()

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

Returns the thumb position of the horizontal scrollbar.

Returns
Value of the horizontal scrollbar

◆ getLinesCount()

TGUI_NODISCARD 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()

TGUI_NODISCARD 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()

TGUI_NODISCARD TextAreaRenderer * tgui::TextArea::getRenderer ( )
overridevirtual

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.

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

◆ getSelectedText()

TGUI_NODISCARD String tgui::TextArea::getSelectedText ( ) const

Returns the text that you currently have selected.

Returns
The selected text of the text area

◆ getSelectionEnd()

TGUI_NODISCARD 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()

TGUI_NODISCARD 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() [1/2]

TGUI_NODISCARD const TextAreaRenderer * tgui::TextArea::getSharedRenderer ( ) const
overridevirtual

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

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.
