TextBox Statement
Description
Creates a text box in a dialog box.
Syntax
TextBox [NoEcho] x , y , dx , dy , .field
where: | is: |
x , y | The upper left corner coordinates of the text box, relative to the upper left corner of the dialog box. |
dx , dy | The width and height of the text box area. |
.field | The name of the dialog record field to hold the text string. |
Comments
A dy value of 12 will usually accommodate text in the system font.
When the user selects the OK button, or any pushbutton other than cancel, the text string entered in the text box will be recorded in .field.
The NoEcho keyword is often used for passwords; it displays all characters entered as asterisks (*).
Use the TextBox statement only between a Begin Dialog and an End Dialog statement.
Example
This example creates a dialog box with a group box, and two buttons.
