Static Text

Static Text supports only Touchscreen inputs, replying to their events with the message: 

ST_MSG_SELECTED - when the touch is within the dimension of the object. 

 

The Static Text Object is rendered using the assigned style scheme. The following figure illustrates the color assignments. 

 

 

Functions
 
Name 
Description 
 
This function creates a STATICTEXT object with the parameters given. It automatically attaches the new object into a global linked list of objects and returns the address of the object. 
 
This function renders the object on the screen using the current parameter settings. Location of the object is determined by the left, top, right and bottom parameters. The colors used are dependent on the state of the object. The font used is determined by the style scheme set.
When rendering objects of the same type, each object must be rendered completely before the rendering of the next object is started. This is to avoid incomplete object rendering. 
 
This function sets the string that will be used for the object. 
 
This function evaluates the message from a user if the message will affect the object or not. The table below enumerates the translated messages for each event of the touch screen and keyboard inputs.
