An edit box is a field that enables the user to enter or edit a single line of text.
Supported Platforms: Windows only
: edit_box {
action alignment allow_accept edit_limit
edit_width fixed_height fixed_width height
is_enabled is_tab_stop key label mnemonic
value width password_char
}
An optional label can appear to the left of the box. If the entered text is longer than the length of the edit box, the edit box scrolls horizontally.
Left-justifying the label and right-justifying the edit box makes it easier to align edit_box tiles vertically.

The initial ASCII value placed in the box. It is displayed left-justified within the edit (input) part of the box. The value of an edit box is terminated by the null character. If the user enters more characters than the edit_limit and the string is truncated, the null character is appended.
