Hello everyone

I am a little confused, I do not find an example of how to get the text of a native text control.

There is a fine example of how to change all the properties of the text but do not understand how to get the content

Do you have suggestions

thanks

Hi info26,

...
put iphoneControlGet(ID_of_Your_Control, "text") into tEditedText
...
Please check:

And the "iOS Release Notes"!

OK the code
put iphoneControlGet(ID_of_Your_Control, "text") into tEditedText
is correct if I put a number of control_ID

But if I have a card with 10 text area how can I distinguish the text areas from each other?

How can I obtain the id of the object

Thank's

Hi info26,

How can I obtain the id of the object?

Well since YOU created them (I boldly presume) you should
be able to mange your objects somehow.

I think you can also give your native iOS controls a NAME instead an ID.

When you create the control with iphoneControlCreate, the ID is returned in the result. So, for example:

iphoneControlCreate "input"
put the result into InputControlID

InputControlID would contain the ID of the control.

All this is in the iOS release notes.
