Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ text_box()

xtd::forms::text_box::text_box ( )

initializes a new instance of the text_box class.

Member Function Documentation

◆ accepts_return() [1/2]

virtual bool xtd::forms::text_box::accepts_return ( ) const
virtualnoexcept

Gets a value indicating whether pressing ENTER in a multiline text_box control creates a new line of text in the control or activates the default button for the form.

Returns
true if the ENTER key creates a new line of text in a multiline version of the control; false if the ENTER key activates the default button for the form. The default is false.
Remarks
If the value of this property is false, the user must press CTRL+ENTER to create a new line in a multiline text_box control. If there is no default button for the form, the ENTER key will always create a new line of text in the control, regardless of the value of this property.

◆ accepts_return() [2/2]

virtual text_box & xtd::forms::text_box::accepts_return ( bool  value)
virtual

Sets a value indicating whether pressing ENTER in a multiline text_box control creates a new line of text in the control or activates the default button for the form.

Parameters
valuetrue if the ENTER key creates a new line of text in a multiline version of the control; false if the ENTER key activates the default button for the form. The default is false.
Returns
Current text_box instance.
Remarks
If the value of this property is false, the user must press CTRL+ENTER to create a new line in a multiline text_box control. If there is no default button for the form, the ENTER key will always create a new line of text in the control, regardless of the value of this property.

◆ append_text()

void xtd::forms::text_box::append_text ( const xtd::ustring value)
overridevirtual

Appends text to the current text of a text box.

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

Gets whether the text_box control modifies the case of characters as they are typed.

Returns
One of the xtd::forms::character_casing enumeration values that specifies whether the text_box control modifies the case of characters. The default is xtd::forms::character_casing::normal.
Remarks
You can use the character_casing property to change the case of characters as required by your application. For example, you could change the case of all characters entered in a text_box control used for password entry to uppercase or lowercase to enforce a policy for passwords.

Parameters
valueOne of the xtd::forms::character_casing enumeration values that specifies whether the text_box control modifies the case of characters. The default is xtd::forms::character_casing::normal.
Returns
Current text_box instance.
Remarks
You can use the character_casing property to change the case of characters as required by your application. For example, you could change the case of all characters entered in a text_box control used for password entry to uppercase or lowercase to enforce a policy for passwords.

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.

drawing::color xtd::forms::text_box::default_back_color ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtualnoexcept

Gets the default background color of the control.

The character used to mask characters entered in a single-line text_box control. Set the value of this property to '0' (U+0000) if you do not want the control to mask characters as they are typed. The default value is '0' (U+0000).
Remarks
The use_system_password_char property has precedence over the password_char property. Whenever the use_system_password_char is set to true, the default system password character is used and any character set by password_char is ignored.
When the password_char property is set, cut and copy actions in the control using the keyboard cannot be performed.

◆ password_char() [2/2]

◆ selection_length() [1/3]

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 from xtd::forms::text_box_base.

◆ selection_length() [2/3]

size_t xtd::forms::text_box::selection_length ( ) const
overridevirtualnoexcept

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 from xtd::forms::text_box_base.

◆ selection_length() [3/3]

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 from xtd::forms::text_box_base.

◆ selection_start() [1/3]

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 from xtd::forms::text_box_base.

◆ selection_start() [2/3]

size_t xtd::forms::text_box::selection_start ( ) const
overridevirtualnoexcept
