Editbox and Button sync...

Mortimerlol · 07-28-17, 09:45 AM

Hello, somebody can say me the error? I need print the text typed in a editbox when press the respective button.

Lua Code:

Gui.func3frame.input = CreateFrame("EditBox", "same", Gui.func3frame, 'InputBoxTemplate')
Gui.func3frame.input:SetSize(200,22)
Gui.func3frame.input:SetAutoFocus(false)
Gui.func3frame.input:SetMaxLetters(30)
Gui.func3frame.input:SetPoint("CENTER", -65, 30)
Gui.func3frame.input:SetScript('OnEnterPressed', function(arg3)
    local arg3 = self:GetText()
end)
--
Gui.func3frame.add = CreateFrame("Button", "same", Gui.func3frame, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
Gui.func3frame.add:SetSize(50,22)
Gui.func3frame.add:SetPoint("CENTER", 70, 30)
Gui.func3frame.add:SetText("Add")
Gui.func3frame.add:SetScript("OnClick", function(arg3)
    print("added: " ..arg3)
end)

Thanks, and sorry! Maybe I'm asking too much.

local means local to that chunk of code. In this case, only the editbox "OnEnterPressed" can see it.

Code:

Gui.func3frame.input = CreateFrame("EditBox", "same", Gui.func3frame, 'InputBoxTemplate')
    Gui.func3frame.input:SetSize(200,22)
    Gui.func3frame.input:SetAutoFocus(false)
    Gui.func3frame.input:SetMaxLetters(30)
    Gui.func3frame.input:SetPoint("CENTER", -65, 30)
    Gui.func3frame.input:SetScript('OnEnterPressed', function(self, arg3)
        self:GetParent().arg3 = self:GetText()
    end)
    --
    Gui.func3frame.add = CreateFrame("Button", "same", Gui.func3frame, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
    Gui.func3frame.add:SetSize(50,22)
    Gui.func3frame.add:SetPoint("CENTER", 70, 30)
    Gui.func3frame.add:SetText("Add")
    Gui.func3frame.add:SetScript("OnClick", function(self, arg3)
        print("added: " ..self:GetParent().arg3)
        -- or print("added: " ..self:GetParent().input:GetText())
    end)

Works fantastic now. Final code:

Lua Code:

Gui.func3frame.input = CreateFrame("EditBox", "same", Gui.func3frame, 'InputBoxTemplate')
Gui.func3frame.input:SetSize(200,22)
Gui.func3frame.input:SetAutoFocus(false)
Gui.func3frame.input:SetMaxLetters(30)
Gui.func3frame.input:SetPoint("CENTER", -65, 30)
Gui.func3frame.input:SetScript('OnChar', function(self, addenemy)
    self:GetParent().addenemy = self:GetText()
end)
--
Gui.func3frame.add = CreateFrame("Button", "same", Gui.func3frame, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
Gui.func3frame.add:SetSize(50,22)
Gui.func3frame.add:SetPoint("CENTER", 70, 30)
Gui.func3frame.add:SetText("Add")
Gui.func3frame.add:SetScript("OnClick", function(self, addenemy)
    print("|cff009900+ Added |r" ..self:GetParent().addenemy.." |cff009900to hate list.")
    Gui.func3frame.input:SetText("")
    -- print("added: " ..self:GetParent().input:GetText())
end)
