Detailed Description

The text area component.

This control allows the user to enter and edit multiple lines of text. The control also allows default text, horizontal and vertical scrollbars.

Enables user to enter text at runtime. Text can be selected using the mouse or keyboard shortcuts and then copied or cut to the clipboard. Text can also be pasted in.

There are some methods to add and clear text attributes to all or some of the text in the control. If a method is expecting a line number, you should specify the actual line number for the entire text (lines numbers start at 0). It is not the line number in the visible display because this can change if the text has been scrolled vertically.

Fires SELECTION_CHANGED, CHANGED, ENTERED, LOST_FOCUS, GETS_FOCUS events.
The focus events are only fired if the control is added to a GTabManager object.

Parameters
attrthe text attribute to add
valuevalue of the text attribute
lineNothe display line number (starts at 0)
charStartthe position of the first character to apply the attribute
charEndthe position after the last character to apply the attribute

◆ appendText()

boolean g4p_controls.GTextArea.appendText ( String  text)

Add text to the end of the current text. This is useful for a logging' type activity.

No events will be generated and the caret will be moved to the end of any appended text.

Parameters
textthe text to append
Returns
true if some characters were added

◆ calculateCaretPos()

void g4p_controls.GTextArea.calculateCaretPos ( TextLayoutHitInfo  tlhi)
protected

Calculate the caret (text insertion point)

Parameters
tlhi

Reimplemented from g4p_controls.GEditableTextControl.

◆ changeText()

boolean g4p_controls.GTextArea.changeText ( )
protected

Reimplemented from g4p_controls.GEditableTextControl.

◆ clearStyles() [1/2]

void g4p_controls.GTextArea.clearStyles ( int  lineNo)

Clears all text attribute from an entire display line.

Parameters
lineNothe display line number (starts at 0)

Reimplemented from g4p_controls.GAbstractControl.

◆ getCaretPos() [1/2]

int[] g4p_controls.GTextArea.getCaretPos ( )

Get the current caret position.

The method will always return a 2 element array with the current caret position { line no, char no }

If the current caret position is undefined then it will return the array { -1, -1 }

Returns
a two element int array holding the caret position.

◆ getCaretPos() [2/2]

int[] g4p_controls.GTextArea.getCaretPos ( int[]  cpos)

Get the current caret position.

If the parameter is a 2 element int array then it will be populated with the line number [0] and character no [1] of the caret's current position.

The method will always return a 2 element array with the current caret position { line no, char no }

If the current caret position is undefined then it will return the array { -1, -1 }

Parameters
cposarray to be populated with caret position
Returns
a two element int array holding the caret position.

◆ getSnapshot()

PGraphics g4p_controls.GTextArea.getSnapshot ( )

This method should be used sparingly since it is heavy on resources.

Returns
a PGraphics object showing current state of the control (ignoring rotation)

Reimplemented from g4p_controls.GAbstractControl.

◆ getText()

String g4p_controls.GTextArea.getText ( int  lineNo)

Get the text on a particular line in the text area.
The line does not need to be visible and the line numbers always start at 0.
The result is not dependent on what is visible at any particular time but on the overall position in text area control.
If the line number is invalid then an empty string is returned.
Trailing EOL characters are removed.

Parameters
lineNothe text area line number we want
Returns
the plain text in a display line

◆ getTextAsArray()

String[] g4p_controls.GTextArea.getTextAsArray ( )

the associated plain text as a String array split on line breaks

◆ getTextLength()

int g4p_controls.GTextArea.getTextLength ( int  lineNo,
boolean  ignoreEOL 
)

Get the length of text on a particular line in the text area.
The line does not need to be visible and the line numbers always start at 0.
