## Class Description

     TGTextEntry

     A TGTextEntry is a one line text input widget.

     Changing text in the text entry widget will generate the event:
     kC_TEXTENTRY, kTE_TEXTCHANGED, widget id, 0.
     Hitting the enter key will generate:
     kC_TEXTENTRY, kTE_ENTER, widget id, 0.
     Hitting the tab key will generate:
     kC_TEXTENTRY, kTE_TAB, widget id, 0.

     This widget has the behaviour e.g. of the "Location" field in
     netscape. That includes handling Control/Shift key modifiers and
     scrolling the text.

     enum TGTextEntry::EEchoMode

     This enum type describes the ways in which TGTextEntry can display
     its contents. The currently defined values are:

/*

- kNormal - display characters as they are entered. This is the default.
- kNoEcho - do not display anything.
- kPassword - display asterisks instead of the characters actually entered.

*/

     See also SetEchoMode(), GetEchoMode().

     enum TGTextEntry::EInsertMode

     This enum type describes the way how typed characters are
     inserted in the text entry. This mode is switched by "Insert" key.

/*

- kInsert - typed character are inserted (cursor has shape of short line).
- kReplace - typed characters substitute already typed ones (cursor has the shape of filled rectangle).

*/

     enum TGWidget::ETextJustification

     This enum type (defined in TGWidget.h) describes the text alignment modes.
     These modes are valid untill text fits the frame width

/*

- kTextLeft - left-side text alignment
- kTextRight - right-side text alignment
- kTextCenterX - center text alignment

*/

     The key press event handler converts a key press to some line editor action.
     Here are the default key bindings:

/*

- Left Arrow Move the cursor one character leftwards. Scroll the text when cursor is out of frame.
- Right Arrow Move the cursor one character rightwards Scroll the text when cursor is out of frame.
- Backspace Deletes the character on the left side of the text cursor and moves the cursor one position to the left. If a text has been marked by the user (e.g. by clicking and dragging) the cursor will be put at the beginning of the marked text and the marked text will be removed.
- Home Moves the text cursor to the left end of the line. If mark is TRUE text will be marked towards the first position, if not any marked text will be unmarked if the cursor is moved.
- End Moves the text cursor to the right end of the line. If mark is TRUE text will be marked towards the last position, if not any marked text will be unmarked if the cursor is moved.
- Delete Deletes the character on the right side of the text cursor. If a text has been marked by the user (e.g. by clicking and dragging) the cursor will be put at the beginning of the marked text and the marked text will be removed.
- Insert Switches character insert mode.
- Shift - Left Arrow Mark text one character leftwards
- Shift - Right Arrow Mark text one character rightwards
- Control - Left Arrow Move the cursor one word leftwards
- Control - Right Arrow Move the cursor one word rightwards.
- Control - Shift - Left Arrow Mark text one word leftwards
- Control - Shift - Right Arrow Mark text one word rightwards
- Control-A Move the cursor to the beginning of the line
- Control-B Move the cursor one character leftwards
- Control-C Copy the marked text to the clipboard.
- Control-D Delete the character to the right of the cursor
- Control-E Move the cursor to the end of the line
- Control-F Move the cursor one character rightwards
- Control-H Delete the character to the left of the cursor
- Control-K Delete marked text if any or delete all characters to the right of the cursor
- Control-U Delete all characters on the line
- Control-V Paste the clipboard text into line edit.
- Control-X Cut the marked text, copy to clipboard.
- Control-Y Paste the clipboard text into line edit.

All other keys with valid ASCII codes insert themselves into the line. */

TGTextEntry(const TGWindow *p, TGTextBuffer *text, Int_t id, GContext_t norm, FontStruct_t font, UInt_t options, ULong_t back) : TGFrame(p, 1, 1, options | kOwnBackground, back)

     Create a text entry widget. It will adopt the TGTextBuffer object
     (i.e. the text buffer will be deleted by the text entry widget).

TGTextEntry(const TGWindow *parent, const char *text, Int_t id) : TGFrame(parent, 1, 1, kSunkenFrame | kDoubleBorder | kOwnBackground, fgWhitePixel)

     Simple text entry constructor.

TGTextEntry(const TString &contents, const TGWindow *parent, Int_t id) : TGFrame(parent, 1, 1, kSunkenFrame | kDoubleBorder | kOwnBackground, fgWhitePixel)

     Simple test entry constructor. Notice TString argument comes before the
     parent argument (to make this ctor different from the first one taking a
     const char*).

~TGTextEntry()

     Delete a text entry widget.

void Init()

     Do default initialization.

void ReturnPressed()

     This signal is emitted when the return or enter key is pressed.

void TabPressed()

     This signal is emitted when the <TAB> key is pressed.

void TextChanged(const char *)

     This signal is emitted every time the text has changed.

void CursorOutLeft()

     This signal is emitted when cursor is going out of left side.

void CursorOutRight()

     This signal is emitted when cursor is going out of right side.

void CursorOutUp()

     This signal is emitted when cursor is going out of upper side.

void CursorOutDown()

     This signal is emitted when cursor is going out of bottom side.

void DoubleClicked()

     This signal is emitted when widget is double clicked.

TString GetDisplayText() const

     Returns the text that's currently displayed.  This is normally
     the same as GetText(), but can be e.g.
     "*****" if EEchoMode is kPassword or
     ""      if it is kNoEcho.

void SetState(Bool_t state)

     Set state of widget. If kTRUE=enabled, kFALSE=disabled.

Int_t GetCharacterIndex(Int_t xcoord)

     Returns the index of the character to whose left edge goalx is closest.

void SetFrameDrawn(Bool_t enable)

     Sets the text entry to draw itself inside a two-pixel frame if
     enable is kTRUE, and to draw itself without any frame if enable is
     kFALSE. The default is kTRUE.

void SetAlignment(ETextJustification mode)

     Sets the alignment of the text entry.
     Possible values are kTextLeft(default), kTextRight, kTextCenterX.
     See also GetAlignment().

void SetInsertMode(EInsertMode mode)

     Sets the mode how characters are entered to the text entry.

void SetText(const char *text)

     Sets text entry to text, clears the selection and moves
     the cursor to the end of the line.
     If necessary the text is truncated to fit MaxLength().
     See also  GetText().

void SetMaxLength(Int_t maxlen)

     Set the maximum length of the text in the editor.  If the text is
     currently too long, it is chopped off at the limit. Any marked text will
     be unmarked.  The cursor position is set to 0 and the first part of the
     string is shown.   The range  of maxlen  is (0,255)
     See  also GetMaxLength().

void SetEchoMode(EEchoMode mode)

     The echo modes available are:

- kNormal - display characters as they are entered. This is the default.
- kNoEcho - do not display anything.
- kPassword - display asterisks instead of the characters actually entered.

     It is always possible to cut and paste any marked text;  only the widget's own
     display is affected.
     See also GetEchoMode(), GetDisplayText().

TString GetMarkedText() const

     Returns the text marked by the user (e.g. by clicking and
     dragging), or zero if no text is marked.
     See also HasMarkedText().

void NewMark(Int_t newPos)

     New character mark at position pos.
     See also SetCursorPosition().

void SetCursorPosition(Int_t newPos)

     Set the cursor position to newPos.
     See also NewMark().

void MarkWord(Int_t pos)

     Marks the word nearest to cursor position.
     See also HandleDoubleClick().

void Insert(const char *newText)

     Removes any currently selected text, inserts newText,
     sets it as the new contents of the text entry.

void CursorRight(Bool_t mark, Int_t steps)

     Moves the cursor rightwards one or more characters.
     See also CursorLeft().

void CursorLeft(Bool_t mark, Int_t steps)

     Moves the cursor leftwards one or more characters.
     See also CursorRight().

void CursorWordForward(Bool_t mark)

     Moves the cursor one word to the right.  If mark is kTRUE, the text
     is marked.
     See also CursorWordBackward().

void CursorWordBackward(Bool_t mark)

     Moves the cursor one word to the left.  If mark is kTRUE, the text
     is marked.
     See also CursorWordForward().

void Backspace()

     Deletes the character on the left side of the text cursor and moves the
     cursor one position to the left. If a text has been marked by the user
     (e.g. by clicking and dragging) the cursor will be put at the beginning
     of the marked text and the marked text will be removed.
     See also  Del().

void Del()
