A text box control

[Kaze]

Been working on this for a little while, still some things to do, but ehh.

Shitty screenshot:


It supports selection (with the mouse, arrow keys(while holding shift), and ctrl+a).

Functions:

Code: Select all

SetWidth
GetWidth

SetHeight
GetHeight

SetFocus
GetFocus

SetValue
GetValue

SetColorFG
SetColorBG

SetCurPos

GetSelected
DeleteSelected

Clear

Append
AppendAfterCursor

Calls (Overwrite these functions for whatever):

Code: Select all

OnEnter
OnTab
OnRightClick

Demo (Changes text when you press enter):


Coming soon:

• Multiline
• Different font support
• ?? Suggestions welcome.

* Note that I didn't copy Zeddy's text box (console), the only thing I used from his was the key-repeating stuff (Thanks Zeddy). Everything else is all me.
* Also, the most of the keys are mapped to my keyboard (which is IRISH). (Symbols and such)

Absolutely amazing. When I code the controls library for kudoLib, don't be thinking I copied your code though

You know what it needs? When you hover over the entry the cursor changes to the little I, that'd be easy

Also, make it so when you hold control and use the arrow keys the cursor jumps by words instead of letters.

Will do.

Didn't even know text boxes in windows did that, will do also.

Well it jumps to the before the next space or symbol in that direction as long as the next character isn't a symbol also.

Play with it to see how it works.

Looks great!

Personally I find the blinking selection a bit irritating (blinking stuff almost always irritates me).
Also, the movement is a bit slow (compare to a standard applicaton - the cursor moves pretty slowly).

Other than that - very nice and very usable.

Looks nice. If you could compress it down to a smaller amount of code it'd be nicer to fit in places.

I'll add some options for key repeat speed, and blinking, I guess.
For now - just edit them yourself.
Line 49 is where you can turn off the blinking.

Code: Select all

love.graphics.setColor(0xEE, 0xEE, 0xEE, util.Pulse(0xFF, 0, 3))

Line 87 is where you can change the key repeat speed, line 100 is for the delay before they start to repeat.

Code: Select all

if self._KeyRepeatTime > 110 then

?.. It's only 16kB.
Remove the comments, either manually, or with a regular expression:
In Notepad++, replace (all) (with regular expressions selected)

Code: Select all

--(.*)

with nothing.. Will reduce size by 3kB. :lol:
