Hello all

The EditBox does not seem to take into account its depth. In the code below, a sprite is placed in front of an EditBox. Clicking the sprite causes 'HIT!' to be printed.

The problem is, if the pointer is over the EditBox at the time, then the EditBox gets focused even though it is behind the sprite. It then becomes impossible to read a HIT on the sprite.

SetErrorMode(2)

// set window properties
SetWindowTitle( "editbox depth" )
SetWindowSize( 1024, 768, 0 )
SetWindowAllowResize( 1 ) // allow the user to resize the window

// set display properties
SetVirtualResolution( 1024, 768 ) // doesn't have to match the window
SetOrientationAllowed( 1, 1, 1, 1 ) // allow both portrait and landscape on mobile devices
SetSyncRate( 30, 0 ) // 30fps instead of 60 to save battery
SetScissor( 0,0,0,0 ) // use the maximum available screen space, no black borders
UseNewDefaultFonts( 1 ) // since version 2.0.22 we can use nicer default fonts

iSpriteID = CreateSprite(0)
SetSpriteSize(iSpriteID, 100, 100)
SetSpritePosition(iSpriteID, 100, 100)
SetSpriteColor(iSpriteID, 100, 255, 100, 200)
SetSpriteDepth(iSpriteID, 10)
iEditBoxID = CreateEditBox()
SetEditBoxPosition(iEditBoxID, 50, 150)
SetEditBoxSize(iEditBoxID, 300, 30)
SetEditBoxDepth(iEditBoxID, 15)

do
	if GetSpriteHit(ScreenToWorldX(GetPointerX()), ScreenToWorldY(GetPointerY())) = iSpriteID
		Print("OVER")
		if (GetPointerPressed())
			Print("HIT!")
		endif
	endif
  
    Print( ScreenFPS() )
    Sync()
loop

		Print("OVER")

Is there a work-around for this?

Thanks,

Here is what I did to get around that.

Actually that's not bad, Golelorn, thanks. Only problem is, that as soon as the mouse is over the sprite (even if the mouse button is not pressed), the editbox becomes disabled and cannot be typed into. I tried changing your code to this:

SetErrorMode(2)

// set window properties
SetWindowTitle( "editbox depth" )
SetWindowSize( 1024, 768, 0 )
SetWindowAllowResize( 1 ) // allow the user to resize the window

// set display properties
SetVirtualResolution( 1024, 768 ) // doesn't have to match the window
SetOrientationAllowed( 1, 1, 1, 1 ) // allow both portrait and landscape on mobile devices
SetSyncRate( 30, 0 ) // 30fps instead of 60 to save battery
SetScissor( 0,0,0,0 ) // use the maximum available screen space, no black borders
UseNewDefaultFonts( 1 ) // since version 2.0.22 we can use nicer default fonts

iSpriteID = CreateSprite(0)
SetSpriteSize(iSpriteID, 100, 100)
SetSpritePosition(iSpriteID, 100, 100)
SetSpriteColor(iSpriteID, 100, 255, 100, 200)
SetSpriteDepth(iSpriteID, 10)
iEditBoxID = CreateEditBox()
SetEditBoxPosition(iEditBoxID, 50, 150)
SetEditBoxSize(iEditBoxID, 300, 30)
SetEditBoxDepth(iEditBoxID, 15)

do
    if GetSpriteHit(ScreenToWorldX(GetPointerX()), ScreenToWorldY(GetPointerY())) = iSpriteID
        Print("OVER")
        if GetPointerPressed()
			SetEditBoxActive(iEditBoxID,0)
            Print("HIT!")
        endif
    else
        SetEditBoxActive(iEditBoxID,1)
    endif
    
    Print( ScreenFPS() )
    Sync()
loop

+ Code Snippet

SetErrorMode(2)

// set window properties
SetWindowTitle( "editbox depth" )
SetWindowSize( 1024, 768, 0 )
SetWindowAllowResize( 1 ) // allow the user to resize the window

// set display properties
SetVirtualResolution( 1024, 768 ) // doesn't have to match the window

SetScissor( 0,0,0,0 ) // use the maximum available screen space, no black borders
UseNewDefaultFonts( 1 ) // since version 2.0.22 we can use nicer default fonts

iSpriteID = CreateSprite(0)
SetSpriteSize(iSpriteID, 100, 100)
SetSpritePosition(iSpriteID, 100, 100)
SetSpriteColor(iSpriteID, 100, 255, 100, 200)
SetSpriteDepth(iSpriteID, 10)
iEditBoxID = CreateEditBox()
SetEditBoxPosition(iEditBoxID, 50, 150)
SetEditBoxSize(iEditBoxID, 300, 30)
SetEditBoxDepth(iEditBoxID, 15)

do
    if GetSpriteHit(ScreenToWorldX(GetPointerX()), ScreenToWorldY(GetPointerY())) = iSpriteID
        Print("OVER")
        if GetPointerPressed()
			SetEditBoxActive(iEditBoxID,0)
            Print("HIT!")
        endif
    else
        SetEditBoxActive(iEditBoxID,1)
    endif
    
    Print( ScreenFPS() )
    Sync()
loop

But that doesn't work because GetPointerPressed() returns zero if an editbox is under the mouse pointer.

In fact, the edit box 'locks out' all pointer commands:

+ Code Snippet

SetErrorMode(2)

// set window properties
SetWindowTitle( "editbox depth" )
SetWindowSize( 1024, 768, 0 )
SetWindowAllowResize( 1 ) // allow the user to resize the window

// set display properties
SetVirtualResolution( 1024, 768 ) // doesn't have to match the window
SetOrientationAllowed( 1, 1, 1, 1 ) // allow both portrait and landscape on mobile devices
SetSyncRate( 30, 0 ) // 30fps instead of 60 to save battery
SetScissor( 0,0,0,0 ) // use the maximum available screen space, no black borders
UseNewDefaultFonts( 1 ) // since version 2.0.22 we can use nicer default fonts

iEditBoxID = CreateEditBox()
SetEditBoxPosition(iEditBoxID, 50, 200)
SetEditBoxSize(iEditBoxID, 300, 30)

do 
	Print("Pointer x " + str(GetPointerX()))
	Print("Pointer y " + str(GetPointerY()))
	Print("Pointer state " + str(GetPointerState()))
	Print("Pointer pressed " + str(GetPointerPressed()))
	Print("Pointer released " + str(GetPointerReleased()))
	Sync()
loop

This is most inconvenient!

I tried to resolve this issue.

But it seems to be a little wrong work, but I hope this will help you somehow.

SetSpritePosition(iSpriteID, 150, 100)
SetSpriteColor(iSpriteID, 100, 255, 100, 200)
SetSpriteDepth(iSpriteID, 9)

do

if GetEditBoxHitTest(iEditBoxID, GetPointerX(), GetPointerY()) <> 1 and GetSpriteHitTest(iSpriteID, GetPointerX(), GetPointerY()) <> 1
		SetEditBoxActive( iEditBoxID, 0 )
		SetEditBoxFocus( iEditBoxID, 0 )
	endif
	
	if GetPointerPressed() = 1 and GetEditBoxHitTest(iEditBoxID, GetPointerX(), GetPointerY()) = 1 and GetSpriteHitTest(iSpriteID, GetPointerX(), GetPointerY()) = 1
		SetSpriteColor(iSpriteID, random(0,255), random(100,255), random(100,255), 200)
		SetEditBoxActive( iEditBoxID, 1 )
		SetEditBoxFocus( iEditBoxID, 1 )
	elseif GetPointerPressed() = 1 and GetEditBoxHitTest(iEditBoxID, GetPointerX(), GetPointerY()) = 1
		SetEditBoxActive( iEditBoxID, 1 )
