• "Size"= An alternative to "CharWidth" and "CharHeight" for specifying either normal size text (0) or double-sized
text (1).
Interfaces:
ifTextField , ifStreamSend
The ifTextField interface provides the following:
• Cls() As Void: Clears the text field.
• GetWidth() As Integer: Returns the width of the text field
• GetHeight() As Integer: Returns the height of the text field.
• SetCursorPos(x As Integer, y As Integer) As Void: Moves the cursor to the specified position.
Subsequent output will appear at this position.
• GetValue() As Integer: Returns the value of the character currently under the cursor.
The ifStreamSend interface provides the following:
• SendByte(byte As Integer) As Void: Writes the character indicated by the specified number at the current
cursor position within the text field. It then advances the cursor.
• SendLine(string As String) As Void: Writes the characters specified at the current cursor position
followed by the end-of-line sequence.
• SendBlock(string As Dynamic) As Void: Writes the characters specified at the current cursor position and
advances the cursor to one position beyond the last character. This method can support either a string or
an
roByteArray . If the block is a string, any null bytes will terminate the block.
• SetSendEol(string As String) As Void: Sets the sequence sent at the end of a SendLine request. You
should leave this at the default value of "chr(13)" for normal use.
Note: The ifStreamSend interface is also described in the section documenting the various file objects. The interface is
described again here in a manner more specific to the roTextField object.
