CHAPTER 8

Text and Ink Input and Display

8-12 Using Text

Once a lightweight paragraph view has been instantiated, you cannot dynamically

change the view ﬂags to make it an editable view, or add multistyled text by

providing a

styles slot, since this type of view object doesn’t support these

features. If you need this functionality for an existing lightweight paragraph view,

you’ll have to copy the text out of it into an editable paragraph view.

Using Input Line Protos 8

Input line protos provide the user with single lines in which to enter data. There are

four input line protos available:

■ protoInputLine is a one-line input field that defines a simple paragraph

view in which the text input is left-justiﬁed.

■ protoRichInputLine is the text and ink equivalent of protoInputLine.

■ protoLabelInputLine is a one-line input field that includes a text label and

can optionally include a pop-up menu known as a picker.

■ protoRichLabelInputLine is the text and ink equivalent of

protoLabelInputLine.

protoInputLine 8

This proto deﬁnes a view that accepts any kind of text input and is left-justiﬁed.

Below is an example of a what a

protoInputLine looks like on the

Newton screen:

The

protoInputLine is based on a view of the clParagraphView class. It

has no child views.

The following is an example of a template using

protoInputLine:

myInput := {...

_proto: protoInputLine,

viewJustify: vjParentRightH+vjParentBottomV,

viewLineSpacing: 24,

viewBounds: SetBounds( -55, -33, -3, -3),

...}

The slots of the protoInputLine are described in “protoInputLine” (page 7-17)

in Newton Programmer’s Reference.

protoRichInputLine 8

This proto works exactly like protoInputLine. The only difference is that

protoRichInputLine allows mixed ink and text input, as determined by the

current user recognition preferences.
