instance initializer

Parameters:

strName – unique name distinguishing this object from all other JSX GUI objects in the JSX application
vntLeft – either a number (i.e, 12, 30, etc) or a number and a unit value (i.e., "25%", "36pt", etc); if a number is passed, pixels will be the assumed unit when painted to screen
vntTop – either a number (i.e, 12, 30, etc) or a number and a unit value (i.e., "25%", "36pt", etc); if a number is passed, pixels will be the assumed unit when painted to screen
vntWidth – either a number (i.e, 12, 30, etc) or a number and a unit value (i.e., "25%", "36pt", etc); if a number is passed, pixels will be the assumed unit when painted to screen
vntHeight – either a number (i.e, 12, 30, etc) or a number and a unit value (i.e., "25%", "36pt", etc); if a number is passed, pixels will be the assumed unit when painted to screen
strValue – this value to appear in the textbox/textarea. This value will be set as the defaultValue for the text box when it is initialized; if edits are made by the user, these edits can be accessed via [object].getValue(); if the initial value is needed, use [object].getDefaultValue();
TYPE – one of two valid types: jsx3.gui.TextBox.TYPETEXT, jsx3.gui.TextBox.TYPETEXTAREA. If null is passed, jsx3.gui.TextBox.DEFAULTTYPE is used
