new_textview

new_textview

The new_textview function is a non-class version of the CTextView:new method which creates and returns a new CTextView object.

T = new_textview( sTitle )

sTitle is an optional string that specifies the window caption. If not used, a default title is used.

On success, a CTextView object is created and returned.

On failure, nil is returned.

The following script creates a new CTextView and opens a Mira Text Editor window with the specified title:

T = new_textview("Window Title")	-- create a new instance T of the CTextView class.
...	-- other uses of the class go here
T:delete()	-- deletes the object.
