Constructor

new(font:Font, ?parent:Object)

Create a new TextInput instance.

Parameters:

font

The font used to render the text.

parent

An optional parent h2d.Object instance to which TextInput adds itself if set.

Variables

backgroundColor:Null<Int>

If set, TextInput will render provided color as a background to text interactive area.

@:value(true)canEdit:Bool = true

When disabled, user would not be able to edit the input text (selection is still available).

@:value(0.5)cursorBlinkTime:Float = 0.5

The blinking interval of the cursor in seconds.

@:value(-1)cursorIndex:Int = -1

Current position of the input cursor. When TextInput is not focused value is -1.

cursorTile:Tile

The Tile used to render the input cursor.

inputWidth:Null<Int>

Maximum input width. Contrary to Text.maxWidth does not cause a word-wrap, but also masks out contents that are outside the max width.

insertTabs:Null<String>

If set, insert these characters when pressing Tab

@:value(false)multiline:Bool = false

Whether the text input allows multiple lines.

selectionRange:{start:Int, length:Int}

If not null, represents current text selection range.

selectionTile:Tile

The Tile used to render the background for selected text. When rendering, this Tile is stretched horizontally to fill entire selection area.

@:value(true)useSoftwareKeyboard:Bool = true

When disabled, showSoftwareKeyboard will not be called.

Methods

blur():Void

clearUndo():Void

focus():Void

Sets focus on this TextInput.

getCursorLine(line:Int):Int

Convert a text line number into a display line number. First line is 0. See getTextPos() and getCursorPos().

getCursorPos(pos:Int):Int

See getTextPos()

getSelectedText():String

Returns a String representing currently selected text area or null if no text is selected.

getTextLength():Int

The expanded text length, including inserted line breaks.

getTextPos(cursor:Int):Int

When lineBreak is enabled and some word wrapping operation applies, the cursorIndex no longer represent the position in the exact text but in the wrapped text, including inserted newlines. This function allows to translate the cursor position into the position into the text. Use getCursorPos to convert the text position into a cursor position.

hasFocus():Bool

Checks if TextInput is currently focused.

dynamicisWordLimit(pos:Int):Bool

This function is used to code the behavior of Ctrl-Left/Right word skipping. By default it uses charset.isSpace but can be customized.

@:value({ focus : false })loadState(from:TextInput, focus:Bool = false):Void

Load the state from a previous input, copy the current text, cursor position, selection etc. This allows to continue uninterrupted input experience while the input component has been reset/rebuild

dynamiconChange():Void

Sent when user modifies TextInput contents.

dynamiconClick(e:Event):Void

Delegate of underlying Interactive.onClick.

Inherited Variables

Defined by Text

dropShadow:{dy:Float, dx:Float, color:Int, alpha:Float}

Adds simple drop shadow to the Text with specified offset, color and alpha. Causes text to be rendered twice (first drop shadow and then the text itself).

font:Font

The font used to render text.

@:value(0)letterSpacing:Float = 0

Extra letter spacing in pixels.

@:value(true)lineBreak:Bool = true

Allow line break.

@:value(0)lineSpacing:Float = 0

Extra line spacing in pixels.

maxWidth:Null<Float>

When set, limits maximum line width and causes word-wrap. Affects positioning of the text depending on textAlign value.

When Text is affected by size constraints (see Object.constraintSize), smallest of the two is used for word-wrap.

text:String

Current rendered text.

textAlign:Align

Text align rules dictate how the text lines are positioned. See Align for specific details on each alignment mode.

textColor:Int

Text RGB color. Alpha value is ignored.

read onlytextHeight:Float

Calculated text height.

Not a completely precise text metric and increments in the Font.lineHeight steps. In HtmlText, can be increased by various values depending on the active line font and HtmlText.lineHeightMode value.

read onlytextWidth:Float

Calculated text width. Can exceed maxWidth in certain cases.

Defined by Drawable

color:Vector4

The color multiplier for the drawable. Can be used to adjust individually each of the four channels R,G,B,A (default [1,1,1,1])

colorAdd:Null<Vector>

Setting colorAdd will add the amount of color of each channel R,G,B,A to the object pixels.

colorKey:Null<Int>

Setting a colorKey color value will discard all pixels that have this exact color in the tile.

colorMatrix:Null<Matrix>

Setting a colorMatrix will apply a color transformation. See also adjustColor.

smooth:Null<Bool>

By enabling smoothing, scaling the object up or down will use hardware bilinear filtering resulting in a less crisp aspect.

By default smooth is null in which case Scene.defaultSmooth value is used.

tileWrap:Bool

Enables texture uv wrap for this Drawable, causing tiles with uv exceeding the texture size to repeat instead of clamping on edges.

Note that tileWrap does not use the Tile region as a wrapping area but instead uses underlying h3d.mat.Texture size. This is due to implementation specifics, as it just sets the Texture.wrap to either Repeat or Clamp. Because of that, proper Tile tiling can be expected only when the tile covers an entire Texture area.

Defined by Object

private@:dox(show)allocated:Bool

A flag that indicates whether the object was allocated or not.

When adding children to allocated objects, onAdd is being called immediately, otherwise it's delayed until the whole tree is added to a currently active Scene.

If there is no Object.filter active, only applies to the current object (not inherited by children). Otherwise tells how the filter is blended with background.

filter:Filter

The post process filter for this object.

When set, Object.alpha value affects both filter and object transparency (use Drawable.color.a to set transparency only for the object).

name:String

The name of the object. Can be used to retrieve an object within a tree by using Object.getObjectByName.

read onlynumChildren:Int

How many immediate children this object has.

read onlyparent:Object

The parent object in the scene tree.

private@:dox(show)parentContainer:Object

The parent container of this object. See Object.contentChanged for more details.

private@:dox(show)posChanged:Bool

Automatically cleared on Object.sync and can be manually synced with the Object.syncPos.

@:value(0)rotation:Float = 0

The rotation angle of this object, in radians.

@:value(1)scaleX:Float = 1

The amount of horizontal scaling of this object.

@:value(1)scaleY:Float = 1

The amount of vertical scaling of this object.

@:value(true)visible:Bool = true

Is the object and its children are displayed on screen.

@:value(0)x:Float = 0

The x position (in pixels) of the object relative to its parent.

@:value(0)y:Float = 0

The y position (in pixels) of the object relative to its parent.

splitText(text:String):String

Perform a word-wrap of the text based on this Text settings.

private@:dox(show)validateText():Void

Only validation of the text is allowed, and attempting to change the text value will lead to undefined behavior.

Defined by Drawable

addShader<T>(s:T):T

Add a shader to the drawable shaders.

Keep in mind, that as stated before, drawable children do not inherit Drawable properties, which includes shaders.

adjustColor(?col:Null<ColorAdjust>):Void

Set the Drawable.colorMatrix value by specifying which effects to apply. Calling adjustColor() without arguments will reset the colorMatrix to null.

getShader<T>(stype:Class<T>):T

Returns the first shader of the given shader class among the drawable shaders.

Parameters:

stype

The class of the shader to look up.

inlinegetShaders():ShaderIterator

Returns an iterator of all drawable shaders

private@:dox(show)addBounds(relativeTo:Object, out:Bounds, dx:Float, dy:Float, width:Float, height:Float):Void

Adds specified area in local coordinate space to the bounds. Expected to be used within Object.getBoundsRec.

Parameters:

out

An output Bounds instance.

dx

The top-left X offset of the added bounds rectangle.

dy

The top-left Y offset of the added bounds rectangle.

width

The height of the added bounds rectangle.

addChild(s:Object):Void

Add a child object at the end of the children list.

addChildAt(s:Object, pos:Int):Void

Insert a child object at the specified position of the children list.

private@:dox(show)calcAbsPos():Void

Internal usage Calculates the absolute object position transform. See `Object.syncPos` for a safe position sync method. This method does not ensure that object parents also have up-to-date transform nor does it clear the `Object.posChanged` flag.

private@:value({ scaleY : 1., scaleX : 1. })@:dox(show)clipBounds(ctx:RenderContext, bounds:Bounds, scaleX:Float = 1., scaleY:Float = 1.):Void

Internal usage Clip the local bounds with our global viewport. Used during filter rendering in order to clip out areas that are off-screen and should not be rendered.

h2d.Scene note: clipBounds will always output bounds equivalent to entire window. This is done in order for scene to never clip out cameras as they may render virtually any area of the Scene.

private@:dox(show)constraintSize(maxWidth:Float, maxHeight:Float):Void

Advanced usage This can be called by a parent container to constraint the size of its children. Negative value mean that constraint is to be disabled.

For example, Text constraints it's maximum width, causing word-wrap to occur within constrained area.

See also:

contains(o:Object):Bool

Tells if the object is contained into this object children, recursively.

private@:dox(show)contentChanged(s:Object):Void

Advanced usage Called by the children of a container object if they have `parentContainer` defined in them. Primary use-case is when the child size got changed, requiring content to reevaluate positioning such as `Flow` layouts, but also can be used for other purposes.

out

An output Bounds instance.

forSize

Whether it's being called for Object.getSize or Object.getBounds.

getChildAt(n:Int):Object

getScene():Scene

Returns an h2d.Scene down the hierarchy tree or null if object is not added to Scene.

finalgetSize(?out:Bounds):Bounds

Similar to getBounds(parent), but instead of the full content, it will return the size based on the alignment of the object. For instance for a text, Object.getBounds will return the full glyphs size whereas getSize will ignore the pixels under the baseline.

Parameters:

out

An optional bounds instance to fill. Allocates new Bounds instance and returns it if not set.

globalToLocal(pt:Point):Point
