	String class generates standard string gadgets with
	all editing facilities (clear, undo, etc.) enabled.
String.mui/MUIA_String_Accept

    NAME
	MUIA_String_Accept -- (V4 ) [ISG], STRPTR

    FUNCTION
	A string containing characters allowed as input
	for the string gadget. Whenever the user hits a
	character not found in MUIA_String_Accept, he
	will hear a beep and gadgets contents won't have 
	changed.

    EXAMPLE
	StringObject,
	   MUIA_String_Accept, "0123456789-",
	   End,

    SEE ALSO
	MUIA_String_Reject
String.mui/MUIA_String_Acknowledge

    NAME
	MUIA_String_Acknowledge -- (V4 ) [..G], STRPTR

    FUNCTION
	This attribute will be set to the contents of the
	string whenever the user hits return in the gadget. 
	An application can listen with notification and take
	the appropriate action.

	Using the TAB key or a mouse click to deactivate the
	gadget will not trigger MUIA_String_Acknowledge.

    EXAMPLE
	/* two string gadgets str1 and str2, the second should
	/* become active after a return in the first: */

	DoMethod(str1,MUIM_Notify,
	   MUIA_String_Acknowledge, MUIV_EveryTime,
	   windowobj, 3, MUIM_Set, MUIA_Window_ActiveObject, str2);

String.mui/MUIA_String_AttachedList

    NAME
	MUIA_String_AttachedList -- (V4 ) [I..], Object *

    FUNCTION
	This special attribute can be set to point to
	a valid MUI object of List or Listview class.
	This enables controlling the lists cursor
	from within the string gadget, all cursor key
	events will be forwarded.

	MUIA_String_Contents, MUIA_List_Active
String.mui/MUIA_String_BufferPos

    NAME
	MUIA_String_BufferPos -- (V4 ) [.SG], LONG

    FUNCTION
	MUIA_String_BufferPos can be used to get and set the
	position of the cursor in the string gadget.
	This attribute is probably not very interesting.

    SEE ALSO
	MUIA_String_Contents, MUIA_String_DisplayPos
String.mui/MUIA_String_Contents

    NAME
	MUIA_String_Contents -- (V4 ) [ISG], STRPTR

    FUNCTION
	Get and set a string gadgets contents. You may not
	modify the returned string.

	MUIA_String_Contents gets updated every time when
	the contents of the string gadget change. When you
	set up a notification on this attribute, you will
	hear about every keystroke.

    EXAMPLE

	/* The given hook will be called after every change */
	/* in the string gadget. It receives a pointer to   */
	/* a pointer to the current contents in register a1 */
	/* (see MUIM_CallHook for details)                  */

	DoMethod(str,MUIM_Notify,
	   MUIA_String_Contents, MUIV_EveryTime,
	   str, 3, MUIM_CallHook, &hook, MUIV_TriggerValue);

    SEE ALSO
	MUIA_String_Accept, MUIA_String_Reject, MUIA_String_MaxLen
String.mui/MUIA_String_DisplayPos

    NAME
	MUIA_String_DisplayPos -- (V4 ) [.SG], LONG

    FUNCTION
	MUIA_String_DisplayPos can be used to get and set the
	number of the first character of the string to be
	displayed. This attribute is probably not very
	interesting.

    SEE ALSO
	MUIA_String_Contents, MUIA_String_BufferPos
String.mui/MUIA_String_EditHook

    NAME
	MUIA_String_EditHook -- (V7 ) [ISG], struct Hook *

    FUNCTION
	When specified, MUI calls this hook as if it was a real
	string edit hook in a real string gadget. It receives
	a pointer to itself in A0, a pointer to a SGWork structure
	in A2 and a pointer to the message in A1.

	The hook will be called before MUI's private edit hook,
	the result is unused.
String.mui/MUIA_String_Format

    NAME
	MUIA_String_Format -- (V4 ) [I.G], LONG

    SPECIAL INPUTS
	MUIV_String_Format_Left
	MUIV_String_Format_Center
	MUIV_String_Format_Right

    FUNCTION
	Used to adjust the alignment of the input string.

    SEE ALSO
	MUIA_String_BufferPos, MUIA_String_DispPos, MUIA_String_Contents
String.mui/MUIA_String_Integer

    NAME
	MUIA_String_Integer -- (V4 ) [ISG], ULONG

    FUNCTION
	Useful for turning a string gadget into an integer
	gadget. Setting this attribute puts the value
	with "%ld" into the gadget, getting it returns
	a longword containing the string gadgets contents
	as number.

	You should set MUIA_String_Accept to "0123456789"
	or something like that to avoid wrong characters.

    EXAMPLE
	StringObject,
	   MUIA_String_Accept , "0123456879",
	   MUIA_String_Integer, 42,
	   End;
String.mui/MUIA_String_MaxLen

    NAME
	MUIA_String_MaxLen -- (V4 ) [I.G], LONG

    FUNCTION
	Setup the maximum length for the string gadget.
	This attribute is only valid at object creation time.

	Default maximum length is 80.

	NOTE: The maximum length includes the 0-byte at the end
	      of the string. To let the user enter e.g. 10 characters,
	      you would have to specify a maxlen of 11.

    SEE ALSO
	MUIA_String_Contents
String.mui/MUIA_String_Reject

    NAME
	MUIA_String_Reject -- (V4 ) [ISG], STRPTR

    FUNCTION
	A string containing characters that should not be
	accepted as input for the string gadget. Whenever
	the user hits such a char, he will hear a beep
	and gadgets contents won't have changed.

    SEE ALSO
	MUIA_String_Accept
String.mui/MUIA_String_Secret

    NAME
	MUIA_String_Secret -- (V4 ) [I.G], BOOL

    FUNCTION
	This attribute causes the string gadget to display only
	dots instead of the real contents. Useful for password
	requesters.
