InputRequester - How do I distinguish between "Cancel" and entering an empty string?

[Lebostein]

Is it impossible?

With default string ?!

Code: Select all

Value.s = "Default"
s1.s = InputRequester("Input", "Text", Value)

If s1 = Value
  Debug "Not Change"
ElseIf S1 = ""
  Debug "Empty"
Else
  Debug "Input: " + s1
EndIf

Depends on your needs. In my app, the user can hit Esc to cancel the prompt; or enter some new text for it; or select and delete the existing default text to indicate that no text should be used. You can't use InputRequester() to distinguish between all three cases, so I needed to roll my own solution.

Value.s = "Default"
s1.s = InputRequester("Input", "Text", Value)

If s1 = Value
  Debug "Not Change"
ElseIf S1 = ""
  Debug "Empty"
Else
  Debug "Input: " + s1
EndIf

Only problem with this approach is that the text isn't selected by default, so I have to explicitly select all and delete "default" before I can type what I want.
