UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=TextEditBox}}
Replaces the input history of a TextEditBox.

<pre>
TextEditBoxSetHistory(editBoxName, history)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;editBoxName : <code>string</code> – Name of a TextEditBox window.
;history : <code>wstring-table</code> – Array of wide strings, in the same order as returned by [[API:TextEditBoxGetHistory|TextEditBoxGetHistory]]. Every value must be a wide string.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* The old history is discarded and replaced by the lines in the table.
* The player's browsing position in the history is reset.
* A table that holds anything other than wide strings raises an ''Invalid Parameters'' error.
* The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two. Any extra arguments placed in front of them are ignored.

== Errors ==
* <code>Error in function call 'TextEditBoxSetHistory': Window %s does not exist</code>
* <code>Error in function call 'TextEditBoxSetHistory': Window %s is not a TextEditBox</code>

== Example ==
From <code>ea_chatwindow/source/chatwindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
-- Set the history (this preserves it logging in/out)
if( GameData.ChatData.history ) then
TextEditBoxSetHistory("EA_TextEntryGroupEntryBoxTextInput", GameData.ChatData.history )
end
</pre>
