<panel>⤶ <parent>TextEntry</parent>⤶ <description>⤶ A form which may be used to display text the player is meant to select and copy or alternately allow them to enter some text of their own . Do note that at least one of your DTextEntry's parents must either be an <page>EditablePanel</page> or derived from it (like a <page>DFrame</page>, for example), else it won't be able to focus and thus be unselectable. You must also call <page>Panel:MakePopup</page> on said panel or the DTextEntry will not work.⤶ ⤶ <bug issue="1588">This does not clear out previously-pasted text properly.</bug>⤶ </description>⤶ ⤶ </panel>⤶ ⤶ ⤶ <example>⤶ <description>Creates a text entry form that allows you to print messages into the local player's chat window.</description>⤶ <code>⤶ local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )⤶ frame:SetSize( 400, 200 )⤶ frame:Center()⤶ frame:MakePopup()⤶ ⤶ local TextEntry = vgui.Create( "DTextEntry", frame ) -- create the form as a child of frame⤶ TextEntry:SetPos( 25, 50 )⤶ TextEntry:SetSize( 75, 85 )⤶ TextEntry:SetText( "Placeholder Text" )⤶ TextEntry.OnEnter = function( self )⤶ chat.AddText( self:GetValue() ) -- print the form's text as server text⤶ end⤶ </code>⤶ <output></output>⤶ ⤶ </example>⤶ ⤶ ⤶ # Methods ⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|AddHistory}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|GetDisabled}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|GetDrawBackground}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|GetDrawBorder}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|GetFont}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|GetHighlightColor}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|GetHistoryEnabled}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|GetTabbingDisabled}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|OnKeyCode}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|OnLoseFocus}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|SetDrawBackground}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|SetDrawBorder}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|SetHighlightColor}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|SetHistoryEnabled}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|SetTabbingDisabled}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|UpdateConvarValue}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|UpdateFromHistory}}⤶ * {{VGUIElementMethodInternal|UpdateFromMenu}}
