Set the size of the input text field

[anshul-soni]

Is there any way for me to set the size of the input text field ?

If you mean the width, you can use PushItemWidth(xxx) for a specific size, or PushItemWidth(-xxx) to left-align. Use PopItemWidth() to return to the previous value in the stack.

It would be neat to set a character count based on m width.

You can set a character count via the buffer size. Not sure why it'd be useful that InputText reduce the character count based on UI size.

I meant for fixed size numbers like 3 digit ints.

If you have a 3 digit ints you can pass a value of 3+1 as buffer size. I'm still not sure of what you are asking for :)

InputInt4 doesn't take a character buffer it takes an int storage. So for similar methods having a fixed width would be neat, but yoi can do it otherwise as you describe and not be lazy like I'm describing ;).

ImGUI::InputInt(&x);
if (x < 0) x = 0;
else if (x > 999) x = 999;

You can also replicate the behavior of InputInt() with InputText() and scanf()

Push and pop worked for me and worked better than I expected 👍

how to give size to particular text without disturbing others

what would be the equivalent for setting heights?

The height of text inputs is based on the font size and the frame padding. So adjust one or the other depending on the appearance you're trying to accomplish.

For font size you're best off loading the same font at various sizes and swapping between sizes using PushFont/PopFont.

For frame padding adjust it via PushStyleVar/PopStyleVar. Or if you want to affect all inputs in the entire application, via ImGuiStyle::FramePadding (although you will likely find this is affecting more things than you'd like.)
