    $window->show;
    Main();

DESCRIPTION

A LibUI::SearchEntry object represents a control with a single line text entry field.

Some systems will deliberately delay the onChanged( ... ) callback for a more natural feel.

This is a subclass of LibUI::Entry.

Functions

Not a lot here but... well, it's just a text box.

new( ... )

    my $txt = LibUI::SearchEntry->new( );

Creates a new entry.

onChanged( ... )

    $txt->onChanged(
    sub {
        my ($ctrl, $data) = @_;
        warn $ctrl->text;
    }, undef);

Registers a callback for when the user changes the entry's text.

Expected parameters include:

$callback - CodeRef that should expect the following:

$txt - backreference to the instance that initiated the callback

$data - user data registered with the sender instance

$data - user data to be passed to the callback

Note: The callback is not triggered when calling setText( ... ).

readonly( ... )

    if( $txt->readonly( ) ) {
        ...;
    }

Returns whether or not the entry's text can be changed.

setReadonly( ... )

    $txt->setReadonly( 1 );

Sets whether or not the entry's text is read only.

setText( ... )

    $txt->setText( 'Updated' );

Sets the entry's text.

text( ... )

    warn $txt->text( );

Returns the entry's text.
