input from users type?

fkkcloud

Hi,

How would I get a typed input from user while processing is running?

Just like google's main pages type bar below image.

Thank you,

GoToLoop

I've got 2 models:

Online: http://studio.processingtogether.com/sp/pad/export/ro.9Zo$UbIWYZEDR/latest
And the 1 below:

/**
 * No Repeat ID Input (v1.10)
 * by GoToLoop (2013/Nov)
 *
 * forum.processing.org/two/discussion/869
 * /check-array-contents-with-arraylist
 */

import static javax.swing.JOptionPane.*;

final StringList ids = new StringList( new String[] {
  "Eric", "Beth", "Katniss"
}
);

void draw() {
  println(ids);

  final String id = showInputDialog("Please enter new ID");

  if (id == null)   exit();

  else if ("".equals(id))
    showMessageDialog(null, "Empty ID Input!!!",
    "Alert", ERROR_MESSAGE);

  else if (ids.hasValue(id))
    showMessageDialog(null, "ID \"" + id + "\" exists already!!!",
    "Alert", ERROR_MESSAGE);

  else {
    showMessageDialog(null, "ID \"" + id + "\" successfully added!!!",
    "Info", INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

    ids.append(id);
  }
}
