A bidiTextArea widget defines a rectangle that contains
one or more lines of bidirectional text.
The bidiTextArea widget supports these properties:
- numColumns, which holds an integer that
represents the number of columns in the text area
- numRows, which holds an integer that
represents the number of rows in the text area
- readOnly, which holds a Boolean that
indicates whether the text area is protected from user input
- text, which holds a string for display
in the text area
Two functions are available, neither of which returns a value:
- append adds content to the content that
is already in the text area. The only parameter is the string to be
added.
- setRedraw redraws the text area. The
only parameter is a Boolean, which indicates whether to redraw the
area.
For more information about supported properties and functions,
see "Widget properties and functions."
If you use this widget, you must use the following statement:
import com.ibm.egl.rui.widgets.BidiTextArea;
