CreateTextField

CreateTextField( x,y,width,height,group[,style])

Parameters:

x,y,width,height - Initial shape of the textfield gadget.
group - Group the text textfield belongs to.
style - 0 for normal, 1 for password masking

Description:

CreateTextField creates a textfield gadget and returns a handle to it.

Textfield gadgets allow the user to enter a single line of text.

To 'preload' the textfield with some initial text, use SetGadgetText.

Textfields generate gadget action events whenever the user types enters a character into the gadget.
When a gadget action event from a textfield occurs, the EventData function can be used to determine
the ascii code of the character typed.
