Thread: Use Textbox as variable

The only text box in RR is for the OSK as far as I know - for those you have to use OSKTOVAR, OSKTEXT and similar commands.
If you want to display some other text box, then you have the option to make a label that looks like a text box and just use on screen buttons to type/change it OR you can simply make a screen in your application and embed it in RR as any external application (using load command). Then you'll have full control of what to do with your text box which you can then use to set variables in RR if desired.

from a plugin....

you can access in processcmd, frm.OskText()
will return string

Better example...Used in my RRExtended PI. Get or set the first textbox text in the current screen.

Get Text:

txt = frm.Txt(0).Text

Set Text:

frm.Txt(0).Text = txt

** Has to be called in the ProcessCommand sub

You can save the reference to the screen (frm) and use it from outside processcommand as well, it's just safer to use it in processcommand.

Thanks to all for these answers !
