Detailed Description

This class provides a low-overhead text input field.

This is a virtual base class below Fl_Input. It has all the same interfaces, but lacks the handle() and draw() method. You may want to subclass it if you are one of those people who likes to change how the editing keys work. It may also be useful for adding scrollbars to the input field.

This can act like any of the subclasses of Fl_Input, by setting type() to one of the following values:

#define FL_NORMAL_INPUT 0
#define FL_FLOAT_INPUT 1
#define FL_INT_INPUT 2
#define FL_MULTILINE_INPUT 4
#define FL_SECRET_INPUT 5
#define FL_INPUT_TYPE 7
#define FL_INPUT_READONLY 8
#define FL_NORMAL_OUTPUT (FL_NORMAL_INPUT | FL_INPUT_READONLY)
#define FL_MULTILINE_OUTPUT (FL_MULTILINE_INPUT | FL_INPUT_READONLY)
#define FL_INPUT_WRAP 16
#define FL_MULTILINE_INPUT_WRAP (FL_MULTILINE_INPUT | FL_INPUT_WRAP)
#define FL_MULTILINE_OUTPUT_WRAP (FL_MULTILINE_INPUT | FL_INPUT_READONLY | FL_INPUT_WRAP)

All variables that represent an index into a text buffer are byte-oriented, not character oriented, counting from 0 (at or before the first character) to size() (at the end of the buffer, after the last byte). Since UTF-8 characters can be up to six bytes long, simply incrementing such an index will not reliably advance to the next character in the text buffer.

Indices and pointers into the text buffer should always point at a 7 bit ASCII character or the beginning of a UTF-8 character sequence. Behavior for false UTF-8 sequences and pointers into the middle of a sequence are undefined.

Member Function Documentation

◆ copy()

int Fl_Input_::copy ( int  clipboard)

Put the current selection into the clipboard.

This call calculates the end of a line based on the given index i.

Parameters
[in]istarting index for the search
Returns
end of the line

◆ line_start()

int Fl_Input_::line_start ( int  i) const

See also
position(), position(int, int)

◆ maximum_size() [1/2]

int Fl_Input_::maximum_size ( ) const
inline

Gets the maximum length of the input field in characters.

See also
maximum_size(int).

◆ maximum_size() [2/2]

void Fl_Input_::maximum_size ( int  m)
inline

Sets the maximum length of the input field in characters.

This limits the number of characters that can be inserted in the widget.

Since FLTK 1.3 this is different than the buffer size, since one character can be more than one byte in UTF-8 encoding. In FLTK 1.1 this was the same (one byte = one character).

◆ position() [1/3]

int Fl_Input_::position ( ) const
inline

Gets the position of the text cursor.

Returns
the cursor position as an index in the range 0..size()
See also
position(int, int)

◆ position() [2/3]

int Fl_Input_::position ( int  p)
inline

Sets the cursor position and mark.

position(n) is the same as position(n, n).

Parameters
pnew index for cursor and mark
Returns
0 if no positions changed
See also
position(int, int), position(), mark(int)

◆ position() [3/3]

int Fl_Input_::position ( int  p,
int  m 
)

Sets the index for the cursor and mark.

The input widget maintains two pointers into the string. The position (p) is where the cursor is. The mark (m) is the other end of the selected text. If they are equal then there is no selection. Changing this does not affect the clipboard (use copy() to do that).

Changing these values causes a redraw(). The new values are bounds checked.

Parameters
pindex for the cursor position
mindex for the mark
Returns
0 if no positions changed
See also
position(int), position(), mark(int)

◆ readonly() [1/2]

int Fl_Input_::readonly ( ) const
inline

Gets the read-only state of the input field.


Returns
non-zero if this widget is read-only

◆ readonly() [2/2]

void Fl_Input_::readonly ( int  b)
inline

Sets the read-only state of the input field.


Parameters
[in]bif b is 0, the text in this widget can be edited by the user

◆ replace()

int Fl_Input_::replace ( int  b,
int  e,
const char *  text,
int  ilen = 0 
)

Deletes text from b to e and inserts the new string text.

All changes to the text buffer go through this function. It deletes the region between b and e (either one may be less or equal to the other), and then inserts the string text at that point and moves the mark() and position() to the end of the insertion. Does the callback if when() & FL_WHEN_CHANGED and there is a change.

Set b and e equal to not delete anything. Set text to NULL to not insert anything.

ilen can be zero or strlen(text), which saves a tiny bit of time if you happen to already know the length of the insertion, or can be used to insert a portion of a string. If ilen is zero, strlen(text) is used instead.

b and e are clamped to the 0..size() range, so it is safe to pass any values. b, e, and ilen are used as numbers of bytes (not characters), where b and e count from 0 to size() (end of buffer).

If b and/or e don't point to a valid UTF-8 character boundary, they are adjusted to the previous (b) or the next (e) valid UTF-8 character boundary, resp..

If the current number of characters in the buffer minus deleted characters plus inserted characters in text would overflow the number of allowed characters (maximum_size()), then only the first characters of the string are inserted, so that maximum_size() is not exceeded.

cut() and insert() are just inline functions that call replace().

Parameters
[in]bbeginning index of text to be deleted
[in]eending index of text to be deleted and insertion position
[in]textstring that will be inserted
[in]ilenlength of text or 0 for nul terminated strings
Returns
0 if nothing changed
Note
If text does not point to a valid UTF-8 character or includes invalid UTF-8 sequences, the text is inserted nevertheless (counting invalid UTF-8 bytes as one character each).

◆ size() [1/2]

int Fl_Input_::size ( ) const
inline

Returns the number of bytes in value().

This may be greater than strlen(value()) if there are nul characters in the text.

int  H 
)
inline

Sets the width and height of this widget.

Parameters

See also
Fl_Widget::size(int, int)

◆ static_value() [1/2]

int Fl_Input_::static_value ( const char *  str)

Changes the widget text.

This function changes the text and sets the mark and the point to the end of it. The string is not copied. If the user edits the string it is copied to the internal buffer then. This can save a great deal of time and memory if your program is rapidly changing the values of text fields, but this will only work if the passed string remains unchanged until either the Fl_Input is destroyed or value() is called again.

Parameters
[in]strthe new text
Returns
non-zero if the new value is different than the current one

◆ static_value() [2/2]

int Fl_Input_::static_value ( const char *  str,
int  len 
)

Changes the widget text.

This function changes the text and sets the mark and the point to the end of it. The string is not copied. If the user edits the string it is copied to the internal buffer then. This can save a great deal of time and memory if your program is rapidly changing the values of text fields, but this will only work if the passed string remains unchanged until either the Fl_Input is destroyed or value() is called again.

You can use the len parameter to directly set the length if you know it already or want to put nul characters in the text.

Parameters
[in]strthe new text
[in]lenthe length of the new text
Returns
non-zero if the new value is different than the current one

◆ tab_nav() [1/2]

int Fl_Input_::tab_nav ( ) const
inline

Gets whether the Tab key causes focus navigation in multiline input fields or not.

If enabled (default), hitting Tab causes focus navigation to the next widget.

If disabled, hitting Tab inserts a tab character into the text field.

Returns
1 if Tab advances focus (default), 0 if Tab inserts tab characters.
See also
tab_nav(int), Fl::OPTION_ARROW_FOCUS.

◆ tab_nav() [2/2]

void Fl_Input_::tab_nav ( int  val)
inline

Sets whether the Tab key does focus navigation, or inserts tab characters into Fl_Multiline_Input.

By default this flag is enabled to provide the 'normal' behavior most users expect; Tab navigates focus to the next widget. To inserting an actual Tab character, users can use Ctrl-I or copy/paste.

Disabling this flag gives the old FLTK behavior where Tab inserts a tab character into the text field, in which case only the mouse can be used to navigate to the next field.

History: This flag was provided for backwards support of FLTK's old 1.1.x behavior where Tab inserts a tab character instead of navigating focus to the next widget. This behavior was unique to Fl_Multiline_Input. With the advent of Fl_Text_Editor, this old behavior has been deprecated.

Parameters
[in]valIf val is 1, Tab advances focus (default).
If val is 0, Tab inserts a tab character (old FLTK behavior).

Fl_Input_::value(const char*)

◆ value() [2/3]

int Fl_Input_::value ( const char *  str)

Changes the widget text.

This function changes the text and sets the mark and the point to the end of it. The string is copied to the internal buffer. Passing NULL is the same as "".

◆ word_end()

int Fl_Input_::word_end ( int  i) const
protected

Finds the end of a word.

Returns the index after the last byte of a word. If the index is already at the end of a word, it will find the end of the following word, so if you call it repeatedly you will move forwards to the end of the text.

Note that this is inconsistent with line_end().

Parameters
[in]istarting index for the search
Returns
end of the word

◆ word_start()

int Fl_Input_::word_start ( int  i) const
protected

Finds the start of a word.

Note that this is inconsistent with line_start().

Parameters
[in]istarting index for the search
Returns
start of the word, or previous word
