The image below shows my edit box. I've included a button that uses the same font, so you can see how it should look. I can't work out what I'm doing wrong, you'll see from the code that I'm changing every parameter in the AppGameKit Kingdom to try and fix it, but to no avail. You can even see that things like the border don't show.

I haven't played around with edit boxes yet but I had a quick scan of the commands. What happens if you add:

setEditBoxActive(eBox,1)

to the end of that section of code?

Thanks Hodgey....I've just realised that this code I posted wasn't being called, I have two versions of this function as I develop it. The problem code was:



It looks like a 100% transparent background causes a problem with the text placed on it.

That made me crack up and nicely timed, I was in need of a laugh.

So the text appearance is still problematic? I try this out tomorrow and give you a second opinion unless someone beats me to it.

I think you may need to do the setEditBoxFontImage before you start setting sizes and such.

Cheers,
