problem : how to set the input focus?

[gokujems]

Hi, i'm making this post to expose my problem. I'm actually trying to make a function that will return the letter that could be written on the chatbox or on a gui edit for exemple. I don't really know how to make it but i tried to use a gui edit to perform this. Here i explain : I want to set the input focus on a single edit gui whithout any need of clicking on that gui. I want the letter to be drawed on that gui just as if i was editing that edit box but whithout having to click on it.

That's my plan to make a function that could return the caracter you want to use like &, ", ', (, { , é, °, à, %, _, etc...

Thanks for having red this post.

Well, to be short, i need to enable the editing of a gui edit whithout having to click on it.

Nope... this is for detecting the input focus, and He want to set it...

Thanks for all the answers but guiEditSetCaretIndex and guiMemoSetCaretIndex only set the position of the caret into a gui and don't enable the input on that gui. Well, if there's no way to make it, i wonder if it's possible to make a function that could return the symbol of a pressed key, i mean just like the chatbox when you write something, it directly detects what you write. For exemple, if you wanna write " çàéurj,éàthgé,)&=578&48"8&5 " then you'll see it on the chat and that's actually what i want to return from the function.

I just don't understand what are you saying.
