Description

Used to draw the text in a [DTextEntry](DTextEntry) within a Derma skin. This is usually called inside the [SKIN:PaintTextEntry](SKIN:PaintTextEntry) skin hook to render custom styles.

Note: Will silently fail if any of the arguments to DrawTextEntryText are not given.

Note: This is a rendering function that requires a 2D rendering context.
This means it will only work inside [2D Rendering Hooks](2d_Rendering_Hooks) such as Paint, PaintOver, etc.

Arguments

1. [table](table) textCol
   The color of the main text.

2. [table](table) highlightCol
   The color used for highlighting selected text.

3. [table](table) cursorCol
   The color of the text caret (cursor).

Example

The following example shows how the default GMod skin uses SKIN:PaintTextEntry to render the background and text of a DTextEntry:

```lua function SKIN:PaintTextEntry(panel, w, h)

if (panel.m_bBackground) then

if (panel:GetDisabled()) then self.tex.TextBox_Disabled(0, 0, w, h) elseif (panel:HasFocus()) then self.tex.TextBox_Focus(0, 0, w, h) else self.tex.TextBox(0, 0, w, h) end

end

panel:DrawTextEntryText( panel.m_colText, -- Text color panel.m_colHighlight, -- Highlight color panel.m_colCursor -- Cursor color )

end
