are you passing the correct parameters to addEditBox?

how should i pass the parameters are they the same as addListBox()?

I doubt it, to find out, go to the Irrlicht website, go to API then search for the addEditBox function. Take a look at the parameters you can pass to setup an editbox.

We can try it the other way around: Show us how you use addEditBox() now and show us the errors you get.

IGUIEditBox (rect< s32 > (210, 380, 330, 400));

and the errors are

Project\main.cpp #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>
Project\main.cpp In function `int main()':
Project\main.cpp cannot allocate an object of type `irr::gui::IGUIEditBox'
Project\main.cpp because the following virtual functions are abstract:
irrlicht-0.14.0\irrlicht-0.14.0\include\IGUIEditBox.h virtual void irr::gui::IGUIEditBox::setOverrideFont(irr::gui::IGUIFont*)
irrlicht-0.14.0\include\IGUIEditBox.h virtual void irr::gui::IGUIEditBox::setOverrideColor(irr::video::SColor)
irrlicht-0.14.0\include\IGUIEditBox.h virtual void irr::gui::IGUIEditBox::enableOverrideColor(bool)
irrlicht-0.14.0\include\IGUIEditBox.h virtual void irr::gui::IGUIEditBox::setMax(irr::s32)

irrlicht-0.14.0\examples\Project\Makefile.win [Build Error] [main.o] Error 1

thats all the error's

Ok you just aren't calling addEditBox() at all. What you do is trying to create it per constructor call, which is not possible for an interface.

Just use addEditBox instead: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/docu/cl ... nt.html#a4

You also might want to read the gui tutorial: http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/tut005.html

Also correct the #include statement the compiler complains about.

could you show me an example of a working edit box code

We're going in circles here. What part from my answer and the manual and the tutorial did you not understand? What specific problem do you have after reading this?

I can only speak for myself: I am willing to help, but I won't let you get away the lazy way.

well i looked at the api and i just dont get it. now if the api showed and example and then explaned how to change things by using the example code then that could help. but the api code has nothing with real varibles that would make sence. like where do i put the x and y stuff and is there anything else that i need in it . it dusnt show that in the api. it shows stuff lile rectangle and other things that if you tryed using bring back errors i tend to work good off of example code but how they explan it in the api i just dont get. i need a cheat sheet just to understand the api.
