Cycling '74 Max U/I bang Reports Text TEXT_HERE Text Output TEXT_HERE ASCII Value of Character Typed TEXT_HERE Item or Character Clicked On TEXT_HERE Sends "textchanged" when Text is Changed While Typing TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Output the stored data Outputs the typed or stored contents of the textedit object's buffer. Enter and display value with no output Sets the contents of the textedit object's buffer while causing no output. Enter and display value with no output Sets the contents of the textedit object's buffer while causing no output. Enter and display value with no output Sets the contents of the textedit object's buffer while causing no output as long as the list is comprised of numbers, otherwise, an error message is displayed. Output selected text Clicking with the mouse on the textedit object (when the patcher window is locked) will cause the textedit object to send either the letter or word selected out its right outlet depending on the setting of the click mode (see the clickmode message). Enter and display value with no output When the textedit object is highlighted, typing enters text into the text display area and modifies its buffer, unless the object is set to read-only mode (see the readonly message). The ASCII value of the character typed is sent out the middle outlet. Drag and drop a file When a file is dragged onto the textedit object, the full file name will be added, replacing any text that was previously typed. Holding down the option/command (Mac), or option/alt (Windows), keys when releasing the mouse will append the file name to the existing text rather than replace it. If the file is in Max's search path, only the file name will be added. If the file is not in Max's search path, the entire file path will be added. Append and display message The word append, followed by a message, will append the message to the textedit object's buffer without causing any output. Clear the stored data Erases the contents of the textedit object's buffer. Display contents of a dictionary with no output The message dictionary, followed by a valid dictionary name, displays the contents of that dictionary in the textedit object, while causing no output. In order to set or append messages to textedit, the dictionary should begin with "mode" : "set" or "mode" : "append". Highlight and target text Causes all text (if any) to be highlighted and sets the object to be the target of keyboard events if the object is not in read-only mode.

The message autoscroll 1 lets you scroll past the amount of text displayed in the textedit window when the number of lines is set to 1 and the word wrapping is disabled (see the wordwrap message) using either the cursor or by clicking and dragging in the textedit window. The default is 0 (autoscroll disabled). Bang mode When bangmode is set to "Bang Outputs Typed Text" (0 = default) then the textedit object will output the text currently being typed when banged. When set to "Bang Outputs Entered Text" (1) then the textedit object will output the text previously entered (will wait until text being typed is completed before sending the new value). TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Background color Sets the background color of the textedit object in RGBA format. Border size Sets the size, in pixels, of the border of the textedit object. The default is 1. Border color Sets the border color of the textedit object in RGBA format. The bordercolor attribute is mapped to the elementcolor style color. Mouse click mode Sets the way that the textedit object responds to mouse clicks in the text display area. The message clickmode 0 will send an individual character clicked on out the right outlet of the textedit object. Setting the object with the message clickmode 1 will send the word the user clicks on. The default is 0 (select characters). TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Carriage return mode Sets the way that the textedit object responds to carriage returns while typing characters into its text display area. The message keymode 0 allows for text input, and displays carriage returns normally.

Number of display lines Sets the number of lines in the textedit object display. Suppress Quotes Around A Single Symbol Sets whether the textedit object displays quotation marks around a single symbol. Note that once the symbol is sent out of textedit, it will be expressed using quotes in Max. nosymquotes has no effect on contents which contain multiple elements ("foo bar bap" bep will display the same with nosymquotes enabled and disabled). Output mode Sets whether the textedit object outputs its contents as a message (0) or as a single symbol (1). The message outputmode 0 causes the output of the object to be sent out as messages. Setting the object with the message outputmode 1 will output the buffer contents as a single symbol. The default is 0 (output as messages). Enable parameter mode handling Enables use of this object with Max for Live Parameters. Visible to Max Mapping When parameter_mappable is enabled, the object will be available for mapping to keyboard or MIDI input using the Max Mappings feature. Read-only mode Toggles the read only mode of the textedit object. The message readonly 1 disables any user entry into the text box. Messages which operate on the current contents of the textedit buffer such as clear, append, or separator are not affected by the readonly message. The default is 0 (readonly mode off). Roundness of box corners Sets the rounding radius, in pixels, for the corners of the textedit object. Line separator Designates a symbol as a line separator. and treats it as a carriage return when the contents of the buffer are output. If the buffer contains the text "red green blue" and the object receives the message separator green, the next bang received by textedit will output red (carriage return) blue.

When set to 1, textedit will evaluate the text, as if clicking a message box, will save that evaluated text as the textedit value, respecting special characters like semicolons and commas. This mode is helpful if you wish to use textedit like a message box, where you can send messages with semicolons, separate messages with commas, etc. Word wrap Sets the way that the textedit object displays messages which are longer than the textedit display area. The message wordwrap 0 will disable text wrapping on word boundaries in the display area. wordwrap is enabled (set to 1) by default. Out left outlet: The currently stored contents of the textedit object's buffer preceded by the word text are output when the object receives a bang message. If the textedit message has been set to enter text on a carriage return using the keymode 1 message, a carriage return will also output the typed text and the buffer contents. Out middle outlet: The ASCII value of the typed key. Out right outlet: The word or letter in the textedit object's text box that the user has clicked on.
