Hi All,
Struggling intensely to get this flaming edit control working. trolled the forums, the wiki, etc but to no avail.
Would someone set up a page for me showing just a edit control in the menu?
Using Simplicity (Modded) on Eden

Basically what I want to do is have the keyboarder (haha!) enter in a 4 digit numeric code. how can I do this?

---

<control type="editcontrol" id="109">
<description>Code Entry</description>
<posx>530</posx>
<posy>370</posy>
<width>220</width>
<visible>true</visible>
<aligny>center</aligny>
<label>Search</label>
<hinttext>####</hinttext>
<font>FontXY_40_Bold</font>
<textcolor>FF000000</textcolor>
<onleft></onleft>
<onright></onright>
<onup>106</onup>
<ondown>106</ondown>
</control>

It's not possible. Also you can't do anything with an edit control as <onclick>...</onclick> does not work. You can enter something but that's it - you can't use it. That's directly in the skin... with a script you can do it of course.

How do I enter something? It doesnt need to be functional, just able to make the numerals appear on screen as they are pressed?

Just type something or press enter and insert your values with the onscreen keyboard. Try to use "edit" instead of "editcontrol" if it doens't work.

Problem solved!!!!
Brilliant, swapped "editcontrol" to "edit".

+1 'ed!!

can we update the wiki article on this one?
