Read and Whrite to InpudField UI

Hi,

I am new to Unity and i need help.

I create some Texts and InputFields with UI of Unity 4.6 Beta 17 and i would like to ask you how i can manage them with csharp. I haven't found any script tutorial about that.

Especially i would like to read the content of the InputField to a string and load it to a text by clicking a button?

Any tutorial or example ?

Thank you in advance

You use get component to get the text field than you can read and write its .text variable.

Will show you later when back at my desk and have more than a phone to type on.

 

Thank you very much.

I am waiting an example.

Thank you again

ok so if your are getting and setting the information from a other script you can do this

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.UI;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class tfTest : MonoBehaviour {
6.     public InputField myText;
7.  
8.     string GetText()
9.     {
10.         string text = myText.text.text;
11.         Debug.Log(text);
12.         return text;
13.     }
14.  
15.     void SetText(string inputText)
16.     {
17.         myText.text.text = inputText;
18.     }
19. }
20.  

if the script is applied to the same object as the InputField instead of using a public InputField you would use

Code (CSharp):

1. gameObject.GetComponent<InputField>();

to get the reference to the Input field component and use the same commands to get and set the information.


be sure at the top of your CS file you are using UnityEngine.UI; or else you want have access to the InputField class in your script.

 

It works very well, thank you cmcpasseby.

Now one more question. I am using the "First Person Controller " of unity and i try to make a pause.
I have the following code. My problem is that when i pres the Ecs key the "Mouse Look" component does not pause. Is still enabled.

Any idea ?

Code (CSharp):

1. ublic bool paused = false;
2.     public GameObject camPositionObject;
3.     public GameObject playerPositionObject;
4.  
5.     void Update () {
6.      
7.         if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape)){
8.             if(!paused){
9.                 Time.timeScale = 0;
10.                 camPositionObject.GetComponent<MouseLook>().enabled = false;
11.                 playerPositionObject.GetComponent<MouseLook>().enabled = false;
12.                 paused=true;        
13.             }else{            
14.                 Time.timeScale = 1;
15.                 camPositionObject.GetComponent<MouseLook>().enabled = true;
16.                 playerPositionObject.GetComponent<MouseLook>().enabled = true;
17.                 paused=false;
18.             }
19.         }
20.     }
21.  

Thank you again

 

you could toss a if statemeant around the effected code in the mouse look component, and set that its condtion true or false in the OnEnable() and the OnDisable() mehtods.
