noexcept

Gets the lines of text in a text box control.

Returns
An array of strings that contains the text in a text box control.
Remarks

Returns
true if the control is a multiline text box control; otherwise, false. The default is false.
Remarks
A multiline text box allows you to display more than one line of text in the control. If the word_wrap property is set to true, text entered into the multiline text box is wrapped to the next line in the control. If the word_wrap property is set to false, text entered into the multiline text box control will be displayed on the same line until a newline character is entered.
Examples
demo.cpp, and test_forms.cpp.

◆ multiline() [2/2]

virtual text_box_base & xtd::forms::text_box_base::multiline ( bool  value)
virtual

Sets a value indicating whether this is a multiline text box control.

Parameters
valuetrue if the control is a multiline text box control; otherwise, false. The default is false.
Returns
Current text_box_base instance.
Remarks
A multiline text box allows you to display more than one line of text in the control. If the word_wrap property is set to true, text entered into the multiline text box is wrapped to the next line in the control. If the word_wrap property is set to false, text entered into the multiline text box control will be displayed on the same line until a newline character is entered.

◆ read_only() [1/2]

virtual bool xtd::forms::text_box_base::read_only ( ) const
virtualnoexcept

Gets a value indicating whether text in the text box is read-only.

Returns
true if the text box is read-only; otherwise, false. The default is false.
Remarks
When this property is set to true, the contents of the control cannot be changed by the user at runtime. With this property set to true, you can still set the value of the Text property in code. You can use this feature instead of disabling the control with the Enabled property to allow the contents to be copied and ToolTips to be shown.
Examples
demo.cpp.

◆ read_only() [2/2]

virtual text_box_base & xtd::forms::text_box_base::read_only ( bool  value)
virtual

Sets a value indicating whether text in the text box is read-only.

Parameters
valuetrue if the text box is read-only; otherwise, false. The default is false.
Returns
Current text_box_base instance.
Remarks
When this property is set to true, the contents of the control cannot be changed by the user at runtime. With this property set to true, you can still set the value of the Text property in code. You can use this feature instead of disabling the control with the Enabled property to allow the contents to be copied and ToolTips to be shown.

◆ selection_length() [1/2]

virtual size_t xtd::forms::text_box_base::selection_length ( ) const
virtualnoexcept

Gets the number of characters selected in the text box.

Returns
The number of characters selected in the text box.
Remarks
You can use this property to determine if any characters are currently selected in the text box control before performing operations on the selected text. When the value of the selection_length property is set to a value that is larger than the number of characters within the text of the control, the value of the selection_length property is set to the entire length of text within the control minus the value of the selection_start property (if any value is specified for the selection_start property).

Reimplemented in xtd::forms::text_box, and xtd::forms::text_box.

◆ selection_length() [2/2]

virtual text_box_base & xtd::forms::text_box_base::selection_length ( size_t  value)
virtual

Sets the number of characters selected in the text box.

Parameters
valueThe number of characters selected in the text box.
Returns
Current text_box_base instance.
Remarks
You can use this property to determine if any characters are currently selected in the text box control before performing operations on the selected text. When the value of the selection_length property is set to a value that is larger than the number of characters within the text of the control, the value of the selection_length property is set to the entire length of text within the control minus the value of the selection_start property (if any value is specified for the selection_start property).

Reimplemented in xtd::forms::text_box.

◆ selection_start() [1/2]

virtual size_t xtd::forms::text_box_base::selection_start ( ) const
virtualnoexcept

Gets o the starting point of text selected in the text box.

Returns
The starting position of text selected in the text box.
Remarks
If no text is selected in the control, this property indicates the insertion point, or caret, for new text. If you set this property to a location beyond the length of the text in the control, the selection start position will be placed after the last character. When text is selected in the text box control, changing this property might decrease the value of the SelectionLength property. If the remaining text in the control after the position indicated by the selection_start property is less than the value of the selection_length property, the value of the selection_length property is automatically decreased. The value of the selection_start property never causes an increase in the selection_length property.

Reimplemented in xtd::forms::text_box, and xtd::forms::text_box.

◆ append_text()

virtual void xtd::forms::text_box_base::append_text ( const xtd::string value)
virtual

Appends text to the current text of a text box.

Parameters
valueThe text to append to the current contents of the text box.

Reimplemented in xtd::forms::text_box.

◆ clear()

void xtd::forms::text_box_base::clear ( )

Clears all text from the text box control.

Remarks
You can use this method to clear the contents of the control instead of assigning the text property an empty string.

◆ select()

virtual void xtd::forms::text_box_base::select ( size_t  start,
size_t  length 
)
virtual

Selects a range of text in the text box.

Parameters
startThe position of the first character in the current text selection within the text box.
lengthThe number of characters to select.
Exceptions
argument_out_of_range_exceptionThe value of the start parameter is less than zero.

Reimplemented in xtd::forms::text_box.

◆ select_all()

void xtd::forms::text_box_base::select_all ( )

Selects all text in the text box.

Remarks
This method enables you to select all text within the control. You can use this method in conjunction with the cut method, which requires text to be selected in the control, to cut the entire contents of the control and paste them into the clipboard.

◆ create_params()

forms::create_params xtd::forms::text_box_base::create_params ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtualnoexcept

Gets the required creation parameters when the control handle is created.

Returns
A create_params that contains the required creation parameters when the handle to the control is created.
Remarks
The create_params property should not be overridden and used to adjust the properties of your derived control. Properties such as the create_params::caption, create_params::width, and create_params::height should be set by the corresponding properties in your control such as control::text, control::width and control::height. The create_params should only be extended when you are wrapping a standard Windows control class or to set styles not provided by the forms namespace.
Notes for inheritors
When overriding the create_params property in a derived class, use the base class's create_params property to extend the base implementation. Otherwise, you must provide all the implementation.

Reimplemented from xtd::forms::control.

◆ default_cursor()

forms::cursor xtd::forms::text_box_base::default_cursor ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtualnoexcept

Gets the default cursor for the control.

Returns
An object of type xtd::forms::cursor representing the current default cursor.
