GuiTextBox partialy functioning about ray4laz HOT 9 CLOSED

I use Devuan 3.1.1 as OS.

systemd is evil :)

:) Yeah, not evil, but not welcomed in my universe :). Well, I have nothing against others using it, it is becoming a standard and cannot be ignored. Having a machine with a systemd based linux for commercial application development is a must.

Gunko, I think you can close this issue. No matter the fpc version, I get the same behavior... And I am upset, because the application was almost finished. I tried also with 3.3.1 version... I think is because of my OS. I'll put this on hold, continue with C language, until I will be able to install something else. Thank you for this translation, it is really helpful.

eText := 'Spasiva!';`

or

eText := another_string_variable;

Well, everything works for me.

program Game;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
uses

raygui,
raylib;

const
screenWidth = 800;
screenHeight = 450;

var
eText : array [0..60] of char = '';

begin
InitWindow(screenWidth, screenHeight, 'raylib - simple project');

while not WindowShouldClose() do
begin
etext:='Hello ';
BeginDrawing();
ClearBackground(RAYWHITE);
GuiTextBox(RectangleCreate( 10, 30, 125, 30 ), @etext, 60, true);
EndDrawing();
end;
CloseWindow(); // Close window and OpenGL context
end.

Thank you, I will try to see what and where I do wrong. I use a "form" with multiple GuiTextBox fields to edit the records of the database...

Your example presents the same problem I have... I'll see if is from compiling the C library...

from ray4laz.

Could you show me your code?

from ray4laz.

No luck here, recompiled the GLFW 3.3.4 as shared lib, recompiled raylib 4 as shared with inclusion of raygui and physac...

Assured myself that I have the last version of your repository.

Now, as a note, I compile my app with fpc only, not using Lazarus. I have your .pas units in my folder and that is all.

In your little example, if I comment the line where:

eText := 'Hello';

then eText become editable. If not, it is only displayed, and the caret right after it, It does not move, no matter what I type.

If this will go well, I will share my app - it is intended from the start for sharing. If not, I will finish the app in C language to have an executable for everyone to play with it, and still sharing pascal sources for people that can use them.

Hi Gunko,

Your little example doesn't work even on your computer because you attribute the same value over and over again, no matter what you type in the GuiTextBox....

Move the attribution outside the while and the variable becomes editable.

That was my error.... now, to finish the example.
