How do I make a better version of a text box?

So, for a school project, I'm programming a math game to help teach kids mental math. What's a good way to make a good looking version of a text box? I've tried to make it myself, but as I am very new to programming it ended up being a buggy mess. Basically, I want to be able to type in a number at the end of a math problem. If it's correct, launch function 'Correct', else, launch 'Incorrect'. I'm having trouble with the first part. Thanks!

See what I could do, I hope it helps you.

You don't need a textbox for that.

Say you are waiting for input. Then you can activate the following event (if you only want to accept numbers):

Obviously works just as well with spritefont. You can also easily add a blinking marker at the end or highlight the text, or pretty much do whatever you want.

Thanks for the help, — I found one problem with it: whenever you input a number from the numpad, it enters "numpad [n]". Also, how would I go about setting an integer to the number which has been pressed?

Oh okay.

Set text to:

text.Text & RegexMatchAt(Keyboard.StringFromKeyCode(Keyboard.LastKeyCode), "[0-9.]", "gi", 0)[/code:12u0cnjw]
instead.

Edit: if you wanna prevent F-keys to fire off, you'd also have to match differently, because of this (if you think this is a problem).

Awesome! Thanks so much, mindfaQ! When I finish the project I'll send you a link.
