Superclasses

Subclasses

interactive-pane collector-pane

Slots

text: The text in the editor pane.
enabled: Ift the editor pane will accept input from the mouse and keyboard.
buffer-name: The name of the editor buffer.

Accessors

editor-pane-text editor-pane-enabled

Description

The accessoreditor-pane-text is provided to read and write the text in the editor buffer. The accessoreditor-pane-enabled is used to enable and disable the editor (when it is disabled, it ignores all input from the mouse and keyboard).

The editor-pane stores text in buffers which are uniquely named, and so to create an editor-pane using an existing buffer you should pass the buffer-name. To create an editor-pane with a new buffer, pass a buffer-name that does not match any existing buffer. If buffer-name is not passed, then the editor-pane uses some existing buffer.

Example

(capi:contain (make-instance 'capi:editor-pane
                             :text "Hello world"))

(setq editor (capi:contain
               (make-instance 'capi:editor-pane
                              :text "Hello world"
                              :enabled nil)))

(setf (capi:editor-pane-enabled editor) t)

(setf (capi:editor-pane-text editor)
                             "New text")
