Parameters

Parameter
Description

tag A number that you assign when you create the textview and that you refer to when altering the view. The number you assign must be different from the tag value of all other existing widgets in the current window. A negative tag hides the textview.

rect The textview's enclosing rectangle. This can be specified in either of two ways:

(i) (x,y,w,h) where x,y are the origin and w,h the size of the view.
(ii) A CGRect value

scrollViewTag The textView’s scrollview tag (default = 0).

<textContainerRef Optional TextContainerRef.

wndTag An optional parameter for when the textview's window is not the current output window. Note specifying this parameter does not bring the window to the front or make it the output window.
