Input objects allow you to create a field where the user can enter text.
Input objects are derived from Object, VisualObject, and ChangeableObject. Input objects have the following additional methods:
| setInputType | Sets the input type |
| getInputType | Returns the input type |
| setDefaultText | Sets the default text |
| setInputLimit | Sets a limit to the number of characters that can be entered |
| getInputLimit | Returns the character limit |
| setOffset | Changes the offset inside the input |
| getOffset | Returns the input offset |
| setTextOffset | Changes the cursor position |
| getTextOffset | Returns the cursor position |
Here's an example of how to create an Input object and set its properties:
Lua:
local main = basalt.createFrame()
local anInput = main:addInput()
anInput:setInputType("text")
anInput:setDefaultText("Username")
anInput:setInputLimit(20)XML:
<input type="text" defaultText="Username" inputLimit="20" />
