Signature

Creation

Returns: a non zero value if successful. In Lua returns the text or nil if an error occurred.

Notes

The function does not allocate memory space to store the text entered by the user. Therefore, the text parameter must be large enough to contain the user input. The string is limited to 10240 characters.

The dialog uses a global attribute called "PARENTDIALOG" as the parent dialog if it is defined. It also uses a global attribute called "ICON" as the dialog icon if it is defined.

object x = IupGetText("hello", NULL )
