Events
You can set an object to handle event callbacks from the textbox. Before you define the object to handle it you have to add the appropriate functions. You can have the object handle the callbacks from several textboxes, the name of the textbox that triggers the event is given in the first argument strTextboxName.
- Sub
OnChange(strTextboxName) Triggers when the text changes.
- Sub
OnChange(strTextboxName) Triggers when the selection length changes
- Sub
OnChange(strTextboxName, boolShift) Triggers when the user presses the Tab key. boolShift returns true if the user presses Shift+Tab.
Usage:
Shift+RightClick to access DX's native rightlick menu for the object.
For the following example you need to do the following:
- Add two textboxes. Name one of them txtThis the other one txtThat.
- Create a new text object and give it an ID.
- Add the script below to the text object.
- Set the textboxes event callback to the text object you just created.
Example:
Dim txtThis, txtThat
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
'Make references for easier access
Set txtThis = DesktopX.ScriptObject("txtThis").Textbox
Set txtThat = DesktopX.ScriptObject("txtThat").Textbox
Object.Text = "[Ready]"
End Sub
Sub Object_OnScriptExit
'Clean up
Set txtThis = Nothing
Set txtThat = Nothing
End Sub
Public Sub Textbox_OnChange(strTextboxName)
Object.Text = strTextboxName & "_OnChange() Triggered - " & Time
End Sub
Public Sub Textbox_OnSelChange(strTextboxName)
Select Case strTextboxName
Case "txtThis"
txtThat.Text = "txtThis_OnSelChange() triggered " & Time
Case "txtThat"
txtThat.Text = "txtThat_OnSelChange() triggered " & Time
End Select
End Sub
Public Sub Textbox_OnTab(strTextboxName, boolShift)
If boolShift Then
'Send foucs backwards
Else
'Send foucs forwards
End If
End Sub
