EditBox font overlap

[Sythalin]

local e = CreateFrame("EditBox", "CFM_HeightBox", CFM_Config)
    e:SetWidth(45)
    e:SetHeight(18)
    e:SetPoint("TOPRIGHT", CFM_Config, "TOPRIGHT", -5,-25)
    e:SetBackdrop({
        bgFile="",
        edgeFile="Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Border",
        tile="true",
        tileSize= 32,
        edgeSize=10,
        insets = {left=5, right=5, top=5, bottom=5}
    })
    e:SetAutoFocus(false)
    e:SetFontObject("GameFontNormal") 
    e:SetMaxLetters(4)
    e:SetText("9999")
    e:RegisterEvent("OnEscapePressed")
    e:RegisterEvent("OnEnterPressed")
    e:SetScript("OnEnterPressed", function(self) self:ClearFocus() end)
    e:SetScript("OnEscapePressed", function(self) self:ClearFocus() end)

EditBox appears and functions fine except the text is overlapping the left edge. Looking through the wiki and not seeing any indent settings so wondering how I can fix this.

Looking at the ChatFrameEditBoxTemplate in the ChatFrame.xml file, it sets the normal borders not with its backdrop, but with a left, center and right texture using "Interface\ChatFrame\UI-ChatInputBorder-Left".

The FontString is the first region of the editbox type though, you can use this code to move it around.

local fontString = editBox:GetRegions();
fontString:ClearAllPoints();
fontString:SetPoint("LEFT",10,0)

Not described in wowwiki, but:

EditBox:SetTextInsets(leftOffset, rightOffset, topOffset, bottomOffset)

Is the function you're looking for.

Thanks, didn't knew about that one, and I actually have a nice use for it in one of my addons

There is no need to register events because they aren't events but widgets handlers. If they were events you should have SetScript("OnEvent", function()...) .

This code should work

    e:SetScript("OnEnterPressed",  e.ClearFocus)
    e:SetScript("OnEscapePressed", e.ClearFocus)
