FUNCTION

  To provide a gadget similar to the gadtools.library string and
  integer gadget kinds. Objects of this class send out the following
  attribute pairs in their notification events:

  GA_ID - Gadget object ID.
  STRINGA_TextVal - Gadget object string contents (string objects).
  STRINGA_LongVal - Gadget object integer contents (integer objects).

NOTE

  All system strgclass attributes are also supported by this class.
  Please refer to the documentation on the strgclass for more
  information on these attributes.

NAME

  SM_FORMAT_STRING -- Format object contents.

SYNOPSIS

  err = DoMethod( obj, SM_FORMAT_STRING, gi, fstr, ... )

  ULONG  err;
  struct GadgetInfo *gi;
  UBYTE *fstr;

FUNCTION

  This method may be used to set a formatted string in a string object.
  The formatted string may also contain any locale.library compatible
  formatting codes.

INPUTS

  gi - This must point to a valid GadgetInfo structure if the
    change must also be shown visually on screen. The
    BGUI_DoGadgetMethod() call will automatically construct this
    for you.

  fstr - This must point to a 0-terminated string which contains the
    formatting codes. Also all locale.library FormatString()
    formatting codes are supported when the locale.library is
    available.

  Following the format string you can put the formatting arguments which
  may be needed to result in a correct output.

NOTE

  This method will only work on string objects, and not on integer objects.

RESULT

  err - TRUE upon success and FALSE upon failure.

NAME

  STRINGA_IntegerMin, STRINGA_IntegerMax -- ( ULONG ) ** V39 **

FUNCTION

  To set the minimum and maximum values which the integer object can
  hold. When a STRINGA_LongVal is set which is out of this range the
  value is adjusted to be inside these boundaries. Also when the user
  enters a value outside these boundaries the screen will flash and the
  entered value is adjusted and not accepted.

DEFAULTS

  0xEFFFFFFF minimum and 0x0FFFFFFF maximum.

APPLICABILITY

  (ISU).

NAME

  STRINGA_MinCharsVisible -- ( ULONG ) ** V39 **

FUNCTION

  To specify the minimum number of characters which should always
  stay visible. This number is involved in calculating the object's
  minimum size. The object won't resize any smaller if that would mean
  that the space required to show this number of characters would become
  insufficient.

DEFAULT

  2.

APPLICABILITY

  (I).

NAME

  STRINGA_StringInfo -- ( struct StringInfo * ) ** V40 **

FUNCTION

  To get a pointer to the string object's special info structure.
  Peeking the objects SpecialInfo field will not work! You must OM_GET
  this attribute.

APPLICABILITY

  (G).
