Imports

IMPORT Com[aEntry] ONLY com
       Com[void] ONLY com
       Com[data] ONLY com
       Void ONLY void
       WinRegulator ONLY regulator:SORT
       WinEvent ONLY event:SORT eventInfo:SORT
       WinInternal ONLY view:SORT config:SORT
       Nat ONLY nat

The new sort and its constructors

SORT aEntry

There are three versions available for aEntries:

• default version

  FUN aEntry: data -> com[aEntry]
  
  

• specify width

  FUN aEntry: data ** nat -> com[aEntry]
  
  

• specify configuration. Use any configuration appropriate for an entry view except edit.

  FUN aEntry: data ** config -> com[aEntry]
  
  

The "long" versions can be used, if the representation is longer than the available space. A horizontal scroller is attached to the entry, otherwise there is no difference.

FUN aEntryLong: data -> com[aEntry]
FUN aEntryLong: data ** nat -> com[aEntry]
FUN aEntryLong: data ** config -> com[aEntry]
 

FUN defaultDim: nat
FUN defaultConfig: config

Control for OpalWin

FUN view: aEntry -> view
FUN regulator: aEntry -> regulator

Accessing contents

Note: get and upd fail, if text cannot be parsed as data.

set the displayed value (blocked until aEntry is displayed!, spwan an agent to initialize the entry!

FUN set: aEntry ** data -> com[void]

get the displayed value

FUN get: aEntry -> com[data]

update data as specified by function

FUN upd: aEntry ** (data -> data) -> com[void]

Binding Events

FUN bind: aEntry ** event ** 
          (aEntry ** eventInfo -> com[void]) -> com[void]
FUN bind: aEntry ** event ** 
          (aEntry ** eventInfo ** data -> com[void]) -> com[void]

Synchronize with Data Changes

Specify a command, which is called, whenever set or upd have been called. This may be repeated for different commands.

FUN sync: aEntry ** (data -> com[void]) -> com[void]
