                 The Resource Compiler ENTRYFIELD Statement
 
ENTRYFIELD text, id, x, y, width, height[, style]
 
The ENTRYFIELD statement creates an entry-field control. This control is a
rectangle in which the user can type and edit text. The control displays a
pointer when the user selects the control. The user can then use the
keyboard to enter text or edit the existing text. Editing keys include the
BACKSPACE and DELETE keys. By using the mouse or the ARROW keys, the user
can select the character or characters to delete or select the place to
insert new characters. The ENTRYFIELD statement, which you can use only in a
DIALOG or WINDOW statement, defines the text, identifier, dimensions, and
attributes of a control window. The predefined class for this control is
WC_ENTRYFIELD. If you do not specify a style, the default style is
ES_AUTOSCROLL and WS_TABSTOP.
 
Field   Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
text    Specifies text that is displayed in the rectangular area of the
        control. This field must contain zero or more characters enclosed in
        double quotation marks. Character values must be in the range 1
        through 255. If a double quotation mark is required in the text, you
        must include the double quotation mark twice.
 
id      Specifies the control identifier. This value must be an integer in
        the range 0 through 65,535, or a simple expression that evaluates to
        a value in that range.
 
x       Specifies the x-coordinate of the lower-left corner of the control.
        This value must be an integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or an
        expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or
        subtraction (-) operator. The coordinate is assumed to be in dialog
        units and is relative to the origin of the dialog box, window, or
        control containing the specified control.
 
y       Specifies the y-coordinate of the lower-left corner of the control.
        This value must be an integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or an
        expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or
        subtraction (-) operator. The coordinate is assumed to be in dialog
        units and is relative to the origin of the dialog box, window, or
        control containing the specified control.
 
width   Specifies the width of the control. This value must be an integer in
        the range 1 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of integers
        and the addition (+) or subtraction (-) operator. The width is in
        ¼-character units.
 
height  Specifies the height of the control. This value must be an integer
        in the range 1 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of
        integers and the addition (+) or subtraction (-) operator. The
        height is in 1/8-character units.
 
style   Specifies the control styles. For a list of possible styles, see the
        topic ◄Entry-field styles►. You can use the bitwise OR (|) operator
        to combine styles.
