UserInterfaceTextBox Properties

Color the box is filled with. Color.Empty, the default, means use the standard color for the theme that is in use.

Color of the outline around the box. Color.Empty, the default, means use the standard color for the theme that is in use. The outline is drawn thicker and brighter while the box has keyboard focus, whatever color it is given.

Where the insertion point sits, as a count of characters from the start of the text. Setting it clamps to the length of the text.

Does this object have keyboard focus? An object with keyboard focus gets first refusal on what is typed in a viewport; what it does not use carries on to the command line as usual.

Most characters the text will hold. 0, the default, means no limit.

Text drawn, dimmed, when the box is empty and does not have focus

A read only text box can take focus and be scrolled through, but typing does not change it. False by default.

What the box holds. Unlike the other controls, this is something the user changes, so reading it asks the box itself what is in it.

Color used to draw the text. Color.Empty, the default, means use the standard text color for the theme that is in use.

Height of the text in logical pixels. A value of 0, the default, means use the standard control font height. Controls that draw no text ignore this setting.

Where the text sits inside the control's rectangle. This is not the same as HorizontalAlignment, which is where the control sits inside its parent.

Where the text sits inside the control's rectangle. This is not the same as VerticalAlignment, which is where the control sits inside its parent.

Text shown in a tooltip when the mouse rests over this object. Null or an empty string means no tooltip, which is what an object starts with. One tooltip is on screen at a time; whichever object the mouse is over owns it.

3d location that control "sticks" to if not null

Is the user interface object visible? Objects that are not visible will not be drawn and will not receive mouse events
