Hi..

I´m a bit confues with that..

i tried

inkey(Karten_name)

Karten_name is a String that is shown in a visible Panel too ( to show the text the user is writing ).
But there´s no reaction.

How am i able to let the user write?
And how am i able to limit the input for each string ( karten_name shoudn´t be larger than 17 Signs )?

You have to show your string in a TEXT* instead of digits in a PANEL*.

How to limit the string length:
str_cpy(Karten_name,"#17"); // Karten_name consists of 17 spaces now.
inkey(Karten_name);

uhm.. i´m showing the name with that:



Looks like a Text.. not like a panel.. sry if i said wrong..

but, the String isn´t shown...

this may help you and others.
Or at least, start you off.....


//set up a TEXT object...
//with some text to input/display

#include<acknex.h>
#include<default.c>

STRING* temp1="#50";


//added another TEXT Object
//to ask for user for text input:
//TEXT object sg


TEXT* sg={ pos_x=50; pos_y=10; font="Arial#24"; alpha=90; string("Enter text: "); flags=TRANSLUCENT | VISIBLE; }

TEXT* sg1={ pos_x=100; pos_y=35; font="Arial#24"; alpha=90; string(temp1); flags=TRANSLUCENT | VISIBLE; }




function main()
{
video_mode=7;
screen_color.blue=255;


wait(2);



//place inputted text into string of temp1

inkey(temp1);




while(1)
{


if(key_c)
{
sg1.red=0;
sg1.green=0;
sg1.blue=0; }

if(key_d)
{
sg1.red=255;
sg1.green=255;
sg1.blue=255; }



wait(1);


}






}

Please show us your complete code, i.e. String definition and the inkey use. Otherwise we can just do lucky guesses.

use the inkey(string*) to input,edit,backspace
your string that you are inputting. It is shown
on the screen while you are inputting or editing. But in this case only up to 50 chars or characters.
Since STRING* temp1; is a undefined string of up to 50 characters.

Good inputting

one more thing:

in the code that I posted...
the string(temp1) method attaches the STRING* temp1 to the Text object sg1.
this is solely diffrent if you omit this string() method.
and then use something like:

str_cpy(temp1, "STARGATE SG1");
str_cpy( (sg1.pstring)[0], temp1);

you are just copying the string contained in temp1 to the pstring
contents of the TEXT object sg1.
While if you attach temp1 thru the string(temp1) method
it will be attached to the TEXT object rather than the string being copied.
And in this case with temp1 being attached and inputted with inkey will show up and displayed on the screen while its being edited/inputted. Hence its attached to the Text object of sg1.

Get it?
Do you follow?

not really XD

but here are the code parts:

To define the String:

To write a text into it:


textfeldnummer is a variable that is set to the number of the textfield you clicked on.

Here a Screen of the Editor:


The name field is declared with "Name der Karte". If i click with the mouse on it, textfeldnummer is set to 1.

you have to display the String with a Text Object.

i quote myself ( 5 post above ):


Like you see.. i show it with a text object..


EDIT:
Ok found out the problem.. the Message Boxes are white.. the text, too..
How am i able to change the text-color?

Maybe you didn't called the function feldhandle.
