Help please, stringgadget (or gadgets in general)

[Hydrate]

Im trying to get it so if the string gadget is not being typed in, change it to my own variable, i cant think of how to check if its being typed in part, could someone point me in the right direction??

Hi Hydrate.

Are you looking for something like this:

Code: Select all

If GetGadgetText(#myStringGadget)=""
  SetGadgetText(#myStringGadget,"MY DEFAULT VALUE")
EndIf

Or a way to detect if the string was modded and not empty, eg, in your window loop:

Code: Select all

Repeat 
  EventID.l = WaitWindowEvent() 
  If EventID = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
    Quit = #True
  ElseIf EventID = #PB_EventGadget
    widgetID=EventGadgetID()
    If widgetID=#myStringGadget
      If GetGadgetText(#myStringGadget)<>""
        myStringFlag.l=#True                    ; or whatever
      Else
        myStringFlag.l=#False                   ; or whatever
      EndIf
    EndIf
  EndIf
Until Quit = #True

Or something else entirely?

Im not too sure, il explain exactly what im trying to say in full, I am trying to make a simple web browser with purebasic, I have the string gadget to enter the text, i have the webgadget running ect, what i want is for when the web page loads a new page it will automatically change the adress bar, when its not then it will stay normal and you will be able to type in it and change the adress, so i used stringgadget for the text, and set it so if its different from the webgadgets text then change, but this meant i couldnt have the user type in it ect, so i was looking for basicly a code for if the user was not typing in the box then change to the webgadgets text.

Hi Hydrate.

In your PureBasic directory there is a subfolder Example\Sources which has a proggie called webBrowser.pb.

This gives a good example of what you are trying to achieve (and is far better than any quick code I type in here).

Hope it helps!

Thats what i used to start off, but say if you go too http://www.google.co.uk/ and search for "test search". The link then becomes http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q= ... arch&meta=

What i am trying to acheive is to have that link become that after the search, so basicly when the user is not typing in the adress bar i want it to update with the right link. It does not do that in the example you gave me or in any examples i can find, so i was wondering is it possible, and if it is how?

Added five lines to the eg which may do what you want.
