In the mean time, i've implemented this slightly differently thanks to Jacque's suggestion on the forums: Or possibly the script variable not registering state correctly. I wonder if this may be linked to the bug Trevor mentions in the comments of his button that asks for text. If i delete the text in script (say in openCard) it still doesn't work. What i then see is that opening the stack (my stacks are set to purge on close) and when no text is set in the field, clicking into it doesn't remove the placeholder text i have to delete the placeholder text manually, exit the field, re-enter the field and then it works. I copied the text field and the behaviour button into a new default stack (and i re-linked the behaviour as button id changes).
Interestingly the sample stack does work - but i tried implementing this without the ask dialog to set the text.

So while your example works in a very basic sense, it requires more code elsewhere and can break during user interaction. Put the text of field "MyFieldWithPrompt" into theUserEnteredTextĪlso, in your code, what if the user typed in "Search", left the field and then came back to it? The text they typed would disappear. If the foregroundColor of field "MyFieldWithPrompt" is black then What would your code look like that gets the text of the field? the user never typed anything or the user typed something but then later deleted what they entered and the prompt text reappeared) then the variable theUserEnteredText will be empty rather than "Search". If the prompt text is still visible (e.g. Put the uText of field "MyFieldWithPrompt" into theUserEnteredText With the behavior you can simply do this: But how does your code know if the text is the prompt text or what the user entered? You have to check somehow.
if the focusedobject is not the long id of me then lock screen set the text of me to the uPlaceholderText of me set the textcolor of me to 125, 125, 125 put true into sDefaultTextIsDisplayedĮnd - there is no confusion from the user perspective. # Is text empty? if the text of me is empty then # Am I focused? If so then don't do anything. # Reset put false into sDefaultTextIsDisplayed If sDefaultTextIsDisplayed then lock screen set the text of me to empty set the textcolor of me to empty # inherit default color unlock screen end if # Reset put false into sDefaultTextIsDisplayedĮnd _ClearDefaultText private command _DisplayDefaultText # If default text is displayed then clear it out Set the unicodetext of me to uniencode (pText, "UTF8" ) If sDefaultTextIsDisplayed then return empty else return unidecode ( the unicodetext of me, "utf8" ) If sDefaultTextIsDisplayed then return empty else return the text of me end if Local sDefaultTextIsDisplayed # Keeps track of whether or not default text is being displayed In the example stack it is stored in the Placeholder Text Behavior button.Ĭonstant kPlaceholderTextColor = "125,125,125"
