## 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

## ◆ append()

int Fl_Input_::append | ( | const char * | t,
|  | int | l = 0,
|  | char | keep_selection = 0 )

Append text at the end.

This function appends the string in `t` to the end of the text. It does not moves the new position or mark.

Parameters

  [in] | t | text that will be appended
  [in] | l | length of text, or 0 if the string is terminated by `nul`.
  [in] | keep_selection | if this is 1, the current text selection will remain, if 0, the cursor will move to the end of the inserted text.

Returns
  0 if no text was appended

## ◆ apply_undo()

int Fl_Input_::apply_undo | ( |  | ) |
| protected

Apply the current undo/redo operation.

It's up to undo() and redo() to push and pop actions to and from the lists.

Returns
  1 if the current action changed any text.

See also
  undo(), redo()

## ◆ can_redo()

bool Fl_Input_::can_redo | ( |  | ) | const

Check if there is a redo action available.

Returns
  true if the widget can redo the last undo action

## ◆ can_undo()

bool Fl_Input_::can_undo | ( |  | ) | const

Check if the last operation can be undone.

Returns
  true if the widget can undo the last change

## ◆ copy()

int Fl_Input_::copy | ( | int | clipboard | ) |

Put the current selection into the clipboard.

This function copies the current selection between mark() and position() into the specified `clipboard`. This does not replace the old clipboard contents if position() and mark() are equal. Clipboard 0 maps to the current text selection and clipboard 1 maps to the cut/paste clipboard.

Parameters

  clipboard | the clipboard destination 0 or 1

Returns
  0 if no text is selected, 1 if the selection was copied

See also
  Fl::copy(const char *, int, int)

## ◆ copy_cuts()

int Fl_Input_::copy_cuts | ( |  | ) |

Copies the yank buffer to the clipboard.

This method copies all the previous contiguous cuts from the undo information to the clipboard. This function implements the `^K` shortcut key.

Returns
  0 if the operation did not change the clipboard

See also
  copy(int), cut()

## ◆ cursor_color() [1/2]

Fl_Color Fl_Input_::cursor_color | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  the current cursor color

## ◆ cursor_color() [2/2]

void Fl_Input_::cursor_color | ( | Fl_Color | n | ) |
| inline

Sets the color of the cursor.

The default color for the cursor is `FL_BLACK`.

Parameters

  [in] | n | the new cursor color

## ◆ cut() [1/3]

int Fl_Input_::cut | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Deletes the current selection.

This function deletes the currently selected text without storing it in the clipboard. To use the clipboard, you may call copy() first or copy_cuts() after this call.

Returns
  0 if no data was copied

## ◆ cut() [2/3]

int Fl_Input_::cut | ( | int | a,
|  | int | b )
| inline

Deletes all characters between index `a` and `b`.

This function deletes the currently selected text without storing it in the clipboard. To use the clipboard, you may call copy() first or copy_cuts() after this call.

Returns
  0 if no data was copied

## ◆ cut() [3/3]

int Fl_Input_::cut | ( | int | n | ) |
| inline

Deletes the next `n` bytes rounded to characters before or after the cursor.

This function deletes the currently selected text without storing it in the clipboard. To use the clipboard, you may call copy() first or copy_cuts() after this call.

Parameters

  n | number of bytes rounded to full characters and clamped to the buffer. A negative number will cut characters to the left of the cursor.

Returns
  0 if no data was copied

## ◆ drawtext() [1/2]

void Fl_Input_::drawtext | ( | int | X,
|  | int | Y,
|  | int | W,
|  | int | H )
| protected

Draws the text in the passed bounding box.

If damage() & FL_DAMAGE_ALL is true, this assumes the area has already been erased to color(). Otherwise it does minimal update and erases the area itself.

Parameters

  X,Y,W,H | area that must be redrawn

## ◆ drawtext() [2/2]

void Fl_Input_::drawtext | ( | int | X,
|  | int | Y,
|  | int | W,
|  | int | H,
|  | bool | draw_active )
| protected

Draws the text in the passed bounding box.

This version of drawtext allows the user to control whether the widget is drawn as acitive, i.e. with the text cursor, or inactive. This is useful for compound widgets where the input should be shown as active when actually the container widget is the active one.

A caller should not draw the widget with active set if another text widget may indeed be the active widget.

Parameters

  X,Y,W,H | area that must be redrawn
  draw_active | if set, the cursor will be drawn, even if the widget is not active

See also
  Fl_Input_::drawtext(int X, int Y, int W, int H)

void Fl_Input_::input_type | ( | int | t | ) |
| inline

Sets the input field type.

A redraw() is required to reformat the input field.

Parameters

  [in] | t | new input type

## ◆ insert()

int Fl_Input_::insert | ( | const char * | t,
|  | int | l = 0 )
| inline

Inserts text at the cursor position.

This function inserts the string in `t` at the cursor position() and moves the new position and mark to the end of the inserted text.

Parameters

  [in] | t | text that will be inserted
  [in] | l | length of text, or 0 if the string is terminated by `nul`.

Returns
  0 if no text was inserted

## ◆ insert_position() [1/3]

int Fl_Input_::insert_position | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Gets the position of the text cursor.

Returns
  the cursor position as an index in the range 0..size()

See also
  insert_position(int, int)

## ◆ insert_position() [2/3]

int Fl_Input_::insert_position | ( | int | p | ) |
| inline

Sets the cursor position and mark.

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

Parameters

  p | new index for cursor and mark

Returns
  0 if no positions changed

See also
  insert_position(int, int), insert_position(), mark(int)

## ◆ insert_position() [3/3]

int Fl_Input_::insert_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

  p | index for the cursor position
  m | index for the mark

Returns
  0 if no positions changed

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

## ◆ ivalue()

int Fl_Input_::ivalue | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the widget text interpreted as a signed integer.

Returns
  signed integer value

See also
  Fl_Input_::dvalue()
  Fl_Input_::value(int)

## ◆ line_end()

int Fl_Input_::line_end | ( | int | i | ) | const
| protected

Finds the end of a line.

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

Parameters

  [in] | i | starting index for the search

Returns
  end of the line

## ◆ line_start()

int Fl_Input_::line_start | ( | int | i | ) | const
| protected

Finds the start of a line.

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

  start of the line

## ◆ mark() [1/2]

int Fl_Input_::mark | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Gets the current selection mark.

Returns
  index into the text

## ◆ mark() [2/2]

int Fl_Input_::mark | ( | int | m | ) |
| inline

mark(n) is the same as insert_position(insert_position(),n).

Parameters

  m | new index of the mark

Returns
  0 if the mark did not change

See also
  insert_position(), insert_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).

  "since 1.4.0 - use insert_position(p) instead"

## ◆ position() [3/3]

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

Deprecated
  "since 1.4.0 - use insert_position(p, m) or Fl_Widget::position(x, y) instead"

## ◆ 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] | b | if `b` is 0, the text in this widget can be edited by the user

## ◆ redo()

int Fl_Input_::redo | ( |  | ) |

Redo previous undo operation.

This call reapplies previously executed undo operations.

Returns
  non-zero if any change was made.

## ◆ 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] | b | beginning index of text to be deleted
  [in] | e | ending index of text to be deleted and insertion position
  [in] | text | string that will be inserted
  [in] | ilen | length 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).

## ◆ resize()

void Fl_Input_::resize | ( | int | X,
|  | int | Y,
|  | int | W,
|  | int | H )
| virtual

|  | 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] | str | the 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] | str | the new text
  [in] | len | the 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] | val | If `val` is 1, Tab advances focus (default). If `val` is 0, Tab inserts a tab character (old FLTK behavior).

See also
  tab_nav(), Fl::OPTION_ARROW_FOCUS.
