class gui::textentry

This is a text entry box, where the user can type in a line of text.

textentry(const textentry &other)

Copy-construct this textentry from another. This does not create a new textentry, instead it creates a new reference to the existing textentry.

textentry(const widget &other)

Attempt to narrow a widget reference to a textentry reference. If the widget is not a textentry, this throws std::bad_cast.

swap(textentry &other)

Exchange this textentry reference with another.

operator=(textentry other)

Assign this textentry reference to another textentry.

operator widget()

Upcast to the widget base class.

textentry()

Create a new, empty textentry.

textentry(const boost::function0< void > &change_func)

Create a new, empty textentry which calls the specified function when the text in the text box is changed.

set_text(const char *text)

Set the text inside the text box.

get_text() const

Gets the text from the text box.

changed_signal()

Returns a reference to the changed signal of the underlying textentry. The changed signal is generated whenever the user changes the text in the text box (after each change, not after a logical group of changes).
