[GUI] search widget?

[white_haired_uncle]

Is there a widget that provides text search, and maybe some docs/examples?

I'm looking at data/gui/window/unit_recruit.cfg. It has a text_box, with that promising FILTER_TEXT_BOX_HINT. But I can't find the stuff that actually acts on said text.

I guess I could roll my own based on text_box:on_modified, but I don't want to and I suspect performance may not be all that great.

TIA

For mainline, those sorts of UI functions are usually implemented in C++, so that wouldn't be something that'd be useful as an example for UMC.

Any idea how hard it would be to take what exists for recall and turn it into a widget? I think it would be quite useful, though ATM I'm having a hard time figuring out how the search would be scoped.

Probably either pretty hard or not really generally applicable, since each dialog tends to structure the data it's using differently and a search of course needs to know what parts of the data structure to look in.

I went looking, thinking there should be something that at least allows you to write definition=search or definition=filter to get the appearance of a search box, but sadly that seems to be missing. While I'm not sure if the search functionality is worth adding to core, I think the appearance would be.

Copying from gui/window/lobby_main.cfg and gui/macros/_initial.cfg:

T.text_box {definition = "default",id = "filter_text",hint_text = _ "Search",hint_image = "icons/action/zoomdefault_25.png~FL(horiz)" }

gives me a text_box that looks like a search box.

And now I have something new to document. Great.
