TextEdit control

(Information and examples taken from the DroidScript documentation)

Create TextEdit objects using the CreateTextEdit method of the app object:

edt = app.CreateTextEdit( text, width, height, options );

You can use the SetOnChange or the SetOnTouch methods of the TextEdit to set the name of a function you want to be called when a the text is changed. Use the SetText and GetText functions to set and get the text in the TextEdit.

function OnStart()
{
  lay = app.CreateLayout( "Linear", "VCenter,FillXY" );
 
  edt = app.CreateTextEdit( "Edit me", 0.8, 0.3 );
  edt.SetOnChange( edt_OnChange );
  lay.AddChild( edt );
 
  txt = app.CreateText( "", 0.8, 0.3 );
  txt.SetMargins( 0, 0.02, 0, 0 );
  lay.AddChild( txt );
 
  app.AddLayout( lay );
}
 
function edt_OnChange()  
{
  txt.SetText( edt.GetText() );
} 

You can change the look of a Text using the SetBackColor and SetTextColor functions on the Text object.

function OnStart()
{
  lay = app.CreateLayout( "Linear", "VCenter,FillXY" );
 
  edt = app.CreateTextEdit( "Hello", 0.8, 0.4 );
  edt.SetTextColor( "#ff6666ff" );
  edt.SetBackColor( "#ffffffff" );
  lay.AddChild( edt );
 
  app.AddLayout( lay );
}

You can also set a background image/pattern or background gradient for the Text using the SetBackground and SetBackGradient functions. See Layouts for examples of how to use these functions.

Some controls use the same methods.
