TextBox

Draws text which won't be edited

#include <TextEdit.h> TextEdit

void TextBox(text, length, box, justType );

Ptr text ; address of array of characters to draw

long length ; number of characters to draw

Rect *box ; in local ( window) coordinates

short justType ; 0=left; 1=centered; -1=right

Use TextBox to draw text without having to create an edit record.

text is the address of an array of characters.

length is the number of characters to draw.

box is a pointer to a Rect structure, specified in local coordinates, which

identifies the location at which the text should be drawn.

justType is a short which must be a justification mode. Using the constant

teForceLeft produces the default behavior of left justification. See

the Notes section below for a list of all the justification modes.

Notes: This is a fast way to display a message. TextBox creates and deletes an

edit record internally.

For example:

char msg[]="Hi there!";

SetRect( &r, 100,100, 200,200 );

TextBox( msg, strlen( msg ), &r, teJustCenter );

Note that no box is drawn. Use FrameRect to make this function do what

its name implies.

Justification is performed relative to the left and right side of the

destination rectangle.

Use the following constants to specify the justication mode.

teFlushRight teJustRight Flush right for all scripts
