xTEXTIN L T W H Title Variable StartingText Bufflength
This is one of these little boxes where you can input
text or numbers. L T W H is the size of the box & Title
will be placed to the left.
StartingText is the text the window will open with.
Bufflength is the size of the buffer :
A "buffer" is a place where the program can put the
things you write into this gadget. Since the program does
not know how long the text you write into this gadget
will be, you have to tell it beforehand.
A buffer of size 100 means that it is 100 characters
long. The gadget will not allow you to enter more characters.
xTextIn gadgets can be controlled through the use of Attributes .
Also, you can get information on the current xTextIn gadget
though Internal Variables
Example : Run Gui Source
Used to be that this gadget would not realize that you
had entered anything, unless and until you pressed the
ENTER key. Through excellent programming on my part, this
is all ancient history now.. :)
