Hello!!

I'm doing a program that will ask you a question, you will select an answer using radio button. Then in the end it will make a report and send you by e-mail. I got all the parts right, it send to an fixed E-mail just fine... But i need some way that it will read what is in the textField.

One other problem that i'm having is how to make the textField disapear when the question is changed, or the program resets...

The program is with 1409 lines, If you want i can post it here...

I have already tried:

if( a2==20){ // this is selected when the person chooses to send the email.

lermail.addTextfield(" ")

.setPosition(505,600)

.setSize(200,40)

.setFont(createFont("Verdana",20))

.setAutoClear(false)

.setVisible(true)

;

String email = lermail.getText();

}

lermail.setVisible(false); // this happens when the send email part is over.

But the program says that there is no function named .getText(); neither the Textfield.setVisible(blolean);

Do you have any idea what i can do to make it work??

Thanks for your time

Obs.: If you want me to post the hole program here is all good =D

Are you using the ControlP5 library?

But the program says that there is no function named .getText(); neither the Textfield.setVisible(blolean);

It would be useful if you copy and pasted the actual error message from the Processing IDE.

The program is with 1409 lines, If you want i can post it here...

Please don't - start by copying and pasting the part of the code generating the errors

Yest ControlIP5.

The error with the getText()

-- The function getText() does not exist.

String email = lermail.getText();

The error with the .setVisible:

--The function setVisible(boolean) does not exist.

lermail.setVisible(false);

lermail is my Textfield

Does that help?

PROBLEM SOLVED!!

For who might interest i got the problem solved.

This threat here " https://forum.processing.org/topic/controlp5-textfield-can-t-get-text " helped alot.

I was trying to use the .getText() on the Textfield it self, i just need to create a textlabel that would receive the content and of the textfield and use the textlabel...

Here how it works:

lermail = cp5.addTextfield(" ")
.setPosition(505,600)
.setSize(280,40)
.setFont(createFont("Verdana",20))
.setAutoClear(false)
.setVisible(false);

Then i just need to call lermail to make the hole thing Invisible or to a set my String Like this:

String email = lermail.getText();

And done!!

my String email have whatever lermail have and lermail have whatever the textfield cp5 does...

If someone need help to understand just ask here. =D
