The disabled widget will no longer receive events and thus no longer send callbacks. All widgets are enabled by default.

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

◆ setFocused()

void tgui::EditBox::setFocused ( bool  focused)
overridevirtual

Focus or unfocus the widget.

Parameters
focusedIs the widget focused?

Reimplemented from tgui::Widget.

◆ setInputValidator()

bool tgui::EditBox::setInputValidator ( const String regex = U".*")

Defines how the text input should look like.

Parameters
regexValid regular expression for std::regex to match on text changes
Returns
True when validator was changed, false when std::regex_error was thrown internally.

When the regex does not match when calling the setText function then the edit box contents will be cleared. When it does not match when the user types a character in the edit box, then the input character is rejected.

Examples:

edit1->setInputValidator(EditBox::Validator::Int);
edit2->setInputValidator("[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*");
static TGUI_API const char * Int
Accept negative and positive integers.
Definition EditBox.hpp:75

◆ setMaximumCharacters()

void tgui::EditBox::setMaximumCharacters ( unsigned int  maxChars)

Changes the character limit.

Parameters
maxCharsThe new character limit. Set it to 0 to disable the limit

◆ setPasswordCharacter()

void tgui::EditBox::setPasswordCharacter ( char32_t  passwordChar)

Sets a password character.

Parameters
passwordCharThe new password character. If set to 0 then there is no password character

When the text width is limited then this function might remove the last characters in the text if they no longer fit in the EditBox. You can avoid this by setting LimitTextWidth to false (which is the default).
