How to input text without a popup
I am developing a little app right now using processing that lets the user enter sentences ( I use JOptionPane class to bring a popup so the user can type in a sentence). That sentence is then converted to text blocks. I would like the user to be able to modify the text inside a block by double-clicking on it. I would prefer it to be editable directly in the text block and not in a popup. A popup is great for the first sentence input but not really for modifying a small text block. Do you know how I could do this ?
Example: The user enters this sentence: Tomorrow, the cat will ride a mountain bike in the forest. Then slices the sentence just after Tomorrow, creating a text block containing the single word Tomorrow,. Then the users wants to edit Tomorrow, block and make it tomorrow. Is there any way this could be done without popup ?
Thank you very much

Don't you want to use Processing GUI libraries, instead of Java? G4P or ControlP5 they provide text fields that you can use. Alternatively, you can implement your own control.
Thank you very much for your answer, I am new to processing and I did not know about these. They seem very nice for java mode. I need a GUI librairie like those that would work in processingjs, any idea on this ? I just need the textfield option. I would prefer working with the same librairie in java mode and processingjs mode, but if that is impossible wich librairie would you recommend for processingjs ?
I didn't try it, but Guido should work for both modes.
I did not see any textfield feature into Guido but you still ansered my question. So I will create a new topic for processingjs. Thank you !
