edit box DX

[leshikgo]

Please give ideas for the implementation of a full edit box at the DX. I would be very grateful to all who help with that!

P.S Sorry for my english

[.:HyPeX:.]

i was actually planning to do one myself aswell...

Thank you, I understand you! Another question, whereby you can add a blinking cursor input?

dxDrawRectangle but how to make it blink?

what do you mean with blinking cursor? the one that appears when you're edditing?

you could make it blink with a timer changing the alpha and placing it by dxGetTextWidth.

Came another question. And how to jump the cursor to the input typed text on mouse click and thus determine the index letters in a string? Principle can be in three words, if you do not mind!?

How to jump with the cursor?

Using the position, iterate through the visible text and checking if the delta position is greater or lower than the cursor position.

How to make a blinking caret?

Use that piece of code when drawing the caret line:

tocolor(0, 0, 0, math.abs(math.sin(getTickCount() / 300)) * 200)

Note: string.split and table.size are usefull functions

  
local text "My Random generated string of text wich goes long" 
local str = string.split(text) 
local mstr = "" 
local boxStart = x*0.2 
local cursorPosition = x*0.3 
for i=1, table.size(str) do 
mstr = mstr..str[i] 
if cursorPosition <= dxGetTextWidth(mstr, scale, font) + boxStart then 
 -- Found da spot! 
end 
end 
  

You'd still need to do some maths to where to add more characters due to the nature of dxInput, but you can do it from here
