I create and edit box and put the value 10 in it and then hit enter, but the GetTextInputCompleted() statement does not get executed so I don\'t get to read the text input? What am I doing wrong or do I need to check some other way?

+ Code Snippet

// set display properties
SetVirtualResolution( 1024, 768 )
SetOrientationAllowed( 1, 1, 1, 1 )
global incyval as integer

CreateEditBox(1)
SetEditBoxSize(1,100,30)
SetEditBoxPosition(1,600,600)
SetEditBoxTextSize(1,15)
rem ** assign focus to the edit box ***
SetEditBoxFocus(1,1)  
sync() 
      
If GetTextInputCompleted() = 1
   print(\"after gettextinputcompleted\")			
   sync()
   sleep(500)     
   incyval = val(GetEditBoxText(1))
endif

I think you need to put it in a loop.

Putting it in a loop didn't help. Any other ideas?

Hi Uechi. I got it to work using this method.

+ Code Snippet

` Set Display Properties
SetVirtualResolution( 1024, 768 )
SetOrientationAllowed( 1, 1, 1, 1 )

` Variable Setup
global incyval as integer


` Create Box 1
CreateEditBox(1) : SetEditBoxSize(1,100,30) : SetEditBoxPosition(1,600,600) : SetEditBoxTextSize(1,15) : SetEditBoxFocus(1,1) 



` Main Loop
do
    If GetEditBoxChanged(1)=1
        incyval = val(GetEditBoxText(1))
    EndIf
    
    Print (incyval)
    Sync ( )
loop
