ShowTextInputMenu
From GECK
A function added by the JIP NVSE Plugin.
Description
Opens a text input message box, enabling typing in text (using the keyboard, obviously).
The function takes four arguments:
- callbackScript - A UDF Script that shall be invoked once the OK button is pressed and the message box is closed. The script is passed with a single argument - a string_var containing the typed in text (see example script, below).
- msgBoxWidth - The pixel width of the message box.
- msgBoxHeight - The pixel height of the message box.
- msgBoxTitle - A formatted string that shall be used as the title text of the message box, displayed at its top.
Syntax
(success:0/1) ShowTextInputMenu callbackScript:ref msgBoxWidth:float msgBoxHeight:float msgBoxTitle:formattedString formatVars(up to 20)
Example
ShowTextInputMenu TextInputUDF 700 500 "Please type in text below:"
Callback Script
A skeleton script for a callback:
scn TextInputUDF
string_var sTextInput
begin Function {sTextInput}
(code)
sv_Destruct sTextInput
end
Notes
- By default, the color of the input text is white, but it can be changed by using the following code after calling the menu:
SetUIFloatAlt "TextEditMenu/NOGLOW_BRANCH/TEM_TextInputBox/TEM_InputText/red" iRed SetUIFloatAlt "TextEditMenu/NOGLOW_BRANCH/TEM_TextInputBox/TEM_InputText/green" iGreen SetUIFloatAlt "TextEditMenu/NOGLOW_BRANCH/TEM_TextInputBox/TEM_InputText/blue" iBlue
