Meir, For a small input widget, I suspect that the Fl_Text_Editor widget is possibly too complex to use. It can be quite tricky to use, and the things you want to do (clamping the input size etc.) could be awkward to implement. I think you really would be better off deriving your own input widget that would give you full control of the layout and format of the text, and (as Duncan suggested) making use of fl_measure() and fl_text_extents() to ensure the text fits correctly in your box. I was going to suggest that you look at my terminal widget (http://www.9edgedown.talktalk.net/flterm.html) but looking at the code it is really badly written and quite confusing so that might not be a good example! I thought Greg had an example of a "chat" widget (http://www.seriss.com/people/erco/fltk/) but it seems not - still, his examples and tutorial videos are very good and worth a look anyway of you are getting started with fltk.
