Capturing Enter key for GuiTextEditCtrl

by Bryce Bangerter · in Torque Game Builder · 07/17/2006 (10:20 pm) · 1 replies

Using a GuiTextEditCtrl how can I capture the enter key to trigger a function call? Basically I've got a dialog box with a single text edit control on it. I want to have pressing enter call the same function my OK button calls.

If you set the altCommand variable in the GuiTextEditCtrl, it will execute that whenever the Return key or Numpad Enter is pressed.

For example:
new GuiTextEditCtrl(NameInput) {
  // blah blah blah goes here
  altCommand = "testAndSetName();";
};

You can also set this in the GUI editor (there is a field for it called AltCommand). Don't forget to put a semi-colon at the end of your command!
