Text box
Apr 4th, 2010, 7:39pm  
I'm new to Processing, and right now I'm working on my first interactive project. I've never had to use a GUI before, so I'm having some trouble. I need to draw a text box that users can type into (just like the one used to post to this forum), but I just can't figure it out. From the preliminary searches I've done, it seems like the best way would be to use a GUI library, but I don't know which one would best suit my purposes and I haven't been able to get the ones I've downloaded to work (most likely due to my lack of understanding of how to implement them). Does anyone have advice on a library to use or an easy way to code this?

you can remove the "is this a float" check if that's not needed.

ControlP5 and G4P are both fairly popular and up to date.

Great text box! I'm fairly new to programming too, I'm not very familiar with your vector code.

How do I access the information from the text field after its entered
