How can I get a text from textinput only knowing the id?

[shogun]

Is there a way to get the masterparent of all gui elements?

I gave you a hint right in my first post. Can't you read or something?

Okay... sorry didn't read the first post again...
but I have this code:

Code: Select all

IGUIElement* elem = game.INTF()->MASTERPARENT();
		IGUIElement* elem2 = elem->getElementFromId(nameid);

MASTERPARENT() returns getRootElement()

I lookd into the watch and elem has a good value.
elem2 however doesn't.
I don't get it... nameid has 106 code. And there is a textinput with 106 code entered. Is there any bug? am I not using it correctly??

You are definitely not reading posts. Unless the text box is a direct child of the root scene node, my previous post in this topic explains exactly why your code doesn't work.

Oh but I did read the posts...
Every element has the parent the element returned my MASTERPARENT()

Just to be sure you still could try setting the second parameter to true like Vitek proposed. But I would rather suspect your game object, your INTF() function or your MASTERPARENT() function as I know about none of those.

When searching for bugs you should try to reduce the problem to the minimum before looking for help from others. There are obviously still a few layers of code which you don't post here and so we are all guessing around.

Try to reduce your problem to a short problem which you can post here completly. There's always a good chance you find the bug yourself while doing so :-)
