guiCreateEdit Alpha down but Text 100 Alpha ?

[Karuzo]

Hey Guys,

So i wanted to make my Panel look more beautiful,

and so i setted the alpha of the Edit-Box to 0.

So my Question is :

The Text has also a alpha of 0 , can i make it to 100?

So the players just can see the text hey write ?

If not:

Is there another way to create a edit-box ?

I don't really know what i should do with that.

[Bonsai]

Its some special attributes for gui objects. I thought there might be something helpful.

[Karuzo]

Hmm,

Not really :-/

Isn't there a way to make the text with an alpha of 100?

Or a way to create custom editboxes?

[Karuzo]

I still need help with this.

What i actually want to make is :

A login Panel with a editbox where the editbox' alpha is down to 0 but the text will be still visible.

I think it's impossible. You can create your own edit box using dx functions and event onClientKey.

hmm, actually you can make it a label and make something like:

  
Label = guiCreateLabel (...) 
bindKey("H","down",theFunction) 
function theFunction () 
text = guiGetText(Label) 
guiSetText(Label,text + "H") 
end

He can, but the cursor won't move like it does in a edit box.

[Dealman]

You can't. You'd either have to make your own editbox or come up with some other workaround.

One workaround I can think of would be to put a label at the same location as the editbox, but have the editbox's alpha set to 0. Then use the event onClientGUIChanged and make the label text the same as the editbox.

You might have to fiddle around with guiBringToFront as well.

[Castillo]

That idea still has the problem I mentioned above.

[Karuzo]

So theres no way to do with GUIs ?

If so , how would such an DX Editbox be created ?

Creating an editbox in dx should't be hard, but it gets a lot harder when you want to add stuff as selecting text.
