TuiTextInputStateInit

Sets a text box's state to empty with nothing selected; call it before first use.

Syntax

TuiTextInputStateInit( byref s as TuiTextInputState )

Description

Initialises a state in place -- a SUB, not a function returning one. Call it before first use so selAnchor is -1 rather than 0, which would mean "a selection starting at the beginning".

Example

#import "std/tui"
using tui

dim as TuiTextInputState st
TuiTextInputStateInit( st )
print st.selAnchor                '' -1 -- nothing selected
st.text = "start here"
print st.text
