Prompt Control User Manual
Copyright (C) 1993,1994 Andrew S. Dean
Description
-----------
The Prompt Control, PROMPT.VBX is an enhanced Text Box
control that allows users to enter command-line style
input. The Prompt Control can be used to implement behavior
similar to the Visual Basic debug window, or the dot prompt
which appears in many xBase products.
The Prompt Control fires an event, Enter, when the user
presses the enter key on the keyboard. The control
automatically parses the current line of text in the control
into separate words, and returns the individual words in the
Words(i) property. The Prompt Control also provides a history
mechanism. By using the up arrow key, the user can re-run
(or modify and then run) previously entered commands.
Custom Properties
-----------------
AppendText Used to append text to the contents of the control.
This property is used to display the results of a
command which was entered in the prompt control.
Use a carriage return/line feed (Chr$(13) + Chr$(10))
sequence to force line breaks. Write-only.
Command Contains the last command line entered into the
control. Read-only.
NumWords The number of words parsed out of the last
command. Read only.
ScrollBars Indicates which scroll bars should appear on the
control at runtime.
0 - None
1 - Horizontal
2 - Vertical
3 - Both
Words(i) The last command entered by the user, parsed
using space characters as word delimiters. The
Words array is indexed from 0 to (NumWords - 1).
Read only.
WordDelimiters Characters used to separate individual words
in a command. Any number of consecutive
delimiters has the same effect as a single
delimiter. The default delimiter is a single
SPACE character.
Custom Events
-------------
Enter Generated when the user presses the Enter key on
the keyboard. The single argument, InputLine,
is a read-only string which contains the entire
text of the command line.
