TextInput
Bases:
Widget
Text input widget.
The callbacks receive the current value and all unknown keyword arguments, where
current_text=widget.get_value
:onchange(current_text, **kwargs) onreturn(current_text, **kwargs)
Note
TextInput text input is sensitive to the widget font, some fonts do not support some characters or languages (for example Chinese). Be careful about which font use.
Note
TextInput only accepts vertical flip and translation transformations.

Adds a function to the Widget to be executed each time the widget is drawn.
The function that this method receives two objects: the Widget itself and the Menu reference.
import math def draw_update_function(widget, menu): t = widget.get_attribute('t', 0) t += menu.get_clock().get_time() widget.set_padding(10*(1 + math.sin(t))) # Oscillating padding button = menu.add.button('This button updates its padding', None) button.set_draw_callback(draw_update_function)
After creating a new callback, this functions returns the ID of the call. It can be removed anytime using
pygame_menu.widgets.core.widget.Widget.remove_draw_callback()
.Note
If Menu surface cache is enabled this method may run only once. To force running the added method each time call
widget.force_menu_surface_update()
to force Menu update the cache status if the drawing callback does not make the Widget to render. Remember that rendering the Widget forces the Menu to update its surface, thus updating the cache too.
Adds the Widget object to kwargs, it helps to get the Widget reference for callbacks. It raises
KeyError
if key is duplicated.
Adds a function to the Widget to be executed each time the Widget is updated.
The function that this method receives three objects: the events list, the Widget itself and the Menu reference. It is similar to
pygame_menu.widgets.core.widget.Widget.add_draw_callback()
.After creating a new callback, this functions returns the ID of the call. It can be removed anytime using
pygame_menu.widgets.core.widget.Widget.remove_update_callback()
.Note
Not all widgets are updated, so the provided function may never be executed in some widgets (for example, label or images).
Run
onreturn
callback when return event. The callback function receives the following arguments:onreturn(value, *args, *widget._args, **widget._kwargs)
- Where
value
if something is returned bypygame_menu.widgets.core.widget.Widget.get_value()
args
given to this methodargs

of the widget
Note
Not all widgets have an
onreturn
method.- Parameters:
args – Extra arguments passed to the callback
- Return type:
- Returns:
Callback return value
Apply callbacks on Widget draw.
- Return type:
- Returns:
Self reference
Apply callbacks on Widget update.
Note
Readonly widgets or hidden widgets do not apply update callbacks.
Expand the Widget background inflate to match the selection effect (the Widget don’t require to be selected).
This is a permanent change; for dynamic purposes, depending on if the widget is selected or not, setting
widget.selection_expand_background
toTrue
may help.Note
This method may have unexpected results with certain selection effects.
- Return type:
- Returns:
Self reference
Run
onchange
callback after change event is triggered. The callback function receives the following arguments:onchange(value, *args, *widget._args, **widget._kwargs)
- Where
value
if something is returned bypygame_menu.widgets.core.widget.Widget.get_value()
args
given to this methodargs

Transformation: This method can flip the Widget either vertically, horizontally, or both. Flipping a Widget is non-destructive and does not change the dimensions.
Note
Flip is only applied after Widget rendering. Thus, the changes are not immediate.
Note
Use
pygame_menu.widgets.core.widget.Widget.render()
method to force Widget rendering after calling this method.
Forces menu surface cache to update after next drawing call. This also updates widget decoration.
Note
This method only updates the surface cache, without forcing re-rendering of all Menu widgets as
pygame_menu.widgets.core.widget.Widget.force_menu_surface_update()
does.- Return type:
- Returns:
Self reference
Forces menu surface update after next rendering call. This method automatically updates widget decoration cache as Menu render forces it to re-render.
This method also should be called by each widget after render.
Note
This method is expensive, as menu surface update forces re-rendering of all widgets (because them can change in size, position, etc…).

Use
pygame_menu.widgets.core.widget.Widget.render()
method to force Widget rendering after calling this method.Warning
This method should only be used by the menu.
Set the alignment of the Widget.
Note
Alignment is only applied when updating the widget position, done by Menu when rendering the surface. Thus, the alignment change is not immediate.
Note
Use
pygame_menu.widgets.core.widget.Widget.render()
method to force widget rendering after calling this method.Note
See
pygame_menu.locals
for validalign
values.

- Returns:
Self reference
Enable interfaces to control the Widget.
Set the Widget cursor if user places the mouse over the Widget.
Set the Widget value, and then make it as default.
Note
This method is intended to be used along
pygame_menu.widgets.core.widget.Widget.reset_value()
method that sets the Widget value back to the default set with this method.Note
Not all widgets accepts a value, for example the image widget.
Set the floating status. If
True
the Widget don’t contribute its width/height to the Menu widget positioning computation (for example, the surface area or the column/row layout), and don’t add one unit to the rows (use the same vertical place as the previous widget).For example, before floating:
---------------------------- | wid1 | wid3 | | wid2 | wid4 | ----------------------------
After
wid3.set_float(True)
:---------------------------- | wid1 | wid4 | | wid2,wid3 | | ----------------------------
If the Widget is within a Frame, it does not contribute to the width/height of the layout. Also, it is being set to the (0, 0) position, thus, the only way to move the Widget to a desired position is by translating it.

Transformation: Translate to (+x, +y) according to the default position.
Note
Translate is only applied when updating the widget position (calling
pygame_menu.widgets.core.widget.Widget.set_position()
). This is done by Menu when rendering the surface. Thus, the position change is not immediate. To force translation update you may call Menu render method.Note
To revert changes, only set to
(0, 0)
.Note
Use
pygame_menu.widgets.core.widget.Widget.render()
method to force widget rendering after calling this method.
Update according to the given events list and fire the callbacks. This method must return
True
if it updated (the internal variables changed during user input).Note
Update is not performed if the Widget is in
readonly
state, or it’s hidden. However,apply_update_callbacks
method is called in most widgets, exceptpygame_menu.widgets.NoneWidget
.
