Rich UI TextArea

A Rich UI textArea widget defines a rectangle containing one or more lines of text.

Here is example code:

package myPkg;

import com.ibm.egl.ui.rui.Event;
import com.ibm.egl.rui.widgets.RadioButton;
import com.ibm.egl.rui.widgets.TextArea

handler MyHandler type RUIHandler{initialUI =[myTextArea, myRadioGroup]}

   myTextArea TextArea{
      text = "Monday? I'm really busy on Monday. How about Tuesday?", 
      numColumns = 15, 
      numRows = 5};

   myRadioGroup RadioGroup{
      groupName = "abc", 
      options =["Monday", "Tuesday"], 
      onClick ::= myRadio};

   function myRadio(e Event in)
      if (myRadioGroup.selected == "Tuesday")
         myTextArea.text = "No, on Monday!";
      else
         myTextArea.text = "No, on Tuesday!";
      end
   end
end

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.
select causes the widget to receive focus and, on most browsers, selects the text. The function has no parameters.
setRedraw redraws the text area. The only parameter is a Boolean, which indicates whether or not to redraw the area.

Supported properties and functions are described in “Widget properties and functions.”

Use of this widget requires the following statement:

import com.ibm.egl.rui.widgets.TextArea;
