Set text cursor position in edit box

[harkathmaker]

Is there a way to change where the "typer" is (where you type) in an IGUIEditBox?

Basically, I want to have some default value displayed, but I want the "typer" to start typing after rather than before the starting text.

Ugh... here is a pseudo-example:

default_val = "foo"

User opens the text field and types "rawr."

Before starting text: "rawrfoo"

After starting text (what I want): "foorawr"

I was hoping for some function like "SetTyperPosition()", but I can't find anything of the sort.

There is a value "CursorPos" in CGUIEditBox but it's not exposed. You'll have to add setter methods to IGUIEditBox and CGUIEditBox in order to change it.

Basically just:

In CGUIEditBox.h:

Code: Select all

virtual void setCursorPosition(s32 pos) {if(pos < Text.size()) CursorPos = pos;}

and

In IGUIEditBox.h:

Code: Select all

virtual void setCursorPosition(s32 pos) = 0;

You may want to add this as a feature request to the tracker as it would be pretty easy to add to the engine.
