A bidiTextArea widget defines a rectangle containing one or more
lines of bidirectional text.
The following properties are supported:
- numColumns, which holds an integer that
represents the number of columns in the text area
- numRows, which holds an integer that
represents the number of rows in the text area
- readOnly, which holds a Boolean that
indicates whether the text area is protected from user input
- text, which holds a string for display
in the text area
The following functions are available, none of which returns a
value:
- append adds content to the content already
in the text area. The only parameter is the string to be added.
- setRedraw redraws the text area. The
only parameter is a Boolean, which indicates whether to redraw the
area.
- select causes the widget to receive
focus and, on most browsers, selects the text. The function has no
parameters.
Other supported properties and functions are described in “Widget
properties and functions.”
Use of this widget requires the following statement:
