NAME

Curses::UI::SearchEntry - Create and manipulate searchentry widgets

DESCRIPTION

This class implements a 'less'-like search prompt. The searchentry has two elements: a prompt (P) and a textentry (______):

P______

This class is internally used by the Curses::UI::Searchable class, so this manual page is not very large.

WIDGET-SPECIFIC OPTIONS

• -prompt < CHARACTER >

  This option sets the initial prompt for the SearchEntry widget.

METHODS

• new ( HASH )

• layout ( )

• draw ( BOOLEAN )

• focus ( )

  These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Widget for an explanation of these.

• get ( )

  This method will return the current text of the entry element.

• prompt ( [CHARACTER] )

  If CHARACTER is defined, the prompt will be set to CHARACTER. Else the current prompt value will be returned.
