Package

Superclasses

Initargs

`:visible-items-count`
	An integer specifying the maximum length of the list, or the symbol `:default`.
`:popup-callback`	A function called just before the list appears, or `nil`.

Description

The class text-input-choice behaves in the same way as a text-input-pane, but has additional functionality. The element inherits from choice, and the choice items are used as the items to display when the user clicks on the button.

The callback is called when the user presses the Return key.

The selection-callback is called when the user selects an item in the list.

Notes

The user can edit the items in a text-input-choice. For an element with similar functionality which does not allow editing, see option-pane.

Compatibility note

In LispWorks 6.0 and earlier versions the text-input-pane initarg value enabled :read-only is not supported for text-input-choice on Microsoft Windows. This restriction is removed for LispWorks 6.1 and later versions.
