TuiTextInput.Insert

Inserts text at the cursor, replacing any selection first.

Syntax

TuiTextInput.Insert( byref t as ustring )

Description

Inserts text at the cursor, replacing any selection first. This is what a paste event calls, and what typing calls one character at a time.

Example

#import "std/tui"
using tui

dim as TuiTextInputState st
TuiTextInputStateInit( st )
st.text = "hell"
st.cursor = 4

dim as TuiTextInput box
box.state = @st
box.Insert( "o there" )
print st.text                     '' hello there
print st.cursor                   '' 11 -- it moved with the text
