Member Function Documentation

uiEntryOnChanged()

void uiEntryOnChanged	(	uiEntry *	e,
		void(*)(uiEntry *sender, void *senderData)	f,
		void *	data
	)

Registers a callback for when the user changes the entry's text.

Parameters

e	uiEntry instance.
f	Callback function. sender Back reference to the instance that initiated the callback. senderData User data registered with the sender instance.
data	User data to be passed to the callback.

Note

The callback is not triggered when calling uiEntrySetText().

uiEntryReadOnly()

int uiEntryReadOnly

(

uiEntry *

e

)

Returns whether or not the entry's text can be changed.

Parameters

e	uiEntry instance.

Returns

TRUE if read only, FALSE otherwise. [Default: FALSE]

uiEntrySetReadOnly()

void uiEntrySetReadOnly	(	uiEntry *	e,
		int	readonly
	)

Sets whether or not the entry's text is read only.

Parameters

e	uiEntry instance.
readonly	TRUE to make read only, FALSE otherwise.

uiEntrySetText()

void uiEntrySetText	(	uiEntry *	e,
		const char *	text
	)

Sets the entry's text.

Parameters

e	uiEntry instance.
text	Entry text. A valid, NUL terminated UTF-8 string. Data is copied internally. Ownership is not transferred.

uiEntryText()

char * uiEntryText

(

uiEntry *

e

)

Returns the entry's text.

Parameters

e	uiEntry instance.

Returns

The text of the entry.
A NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
Caller is responsible for freeing the data with uiFreeText().

uiNewEntry()

uiEntry * uiNewEntry

(

void

)

Creates a new entry.

Returns

A new uiEntry instance.

uiNewPasswordEntry()

uiEntry * uiNewPasswordEntry

(

void

)

Creates a new entry suitable for sensitive inputs like passwords.

The entered text is NOT readable by the user but masked as *******.

Returns

A new uiEntry instance.

uiNewSearchEntry()

uiEntry * uiNewSearchEntry

(

void

)

Creates a new entry suitable for search.

Some systems will deliberately delay the uiEntryOnChanged() callback for a more natural feel.

Returns

A new uiEntry instance.
