Textbox via Spritefont

$10 USD

Forget about default textbox restrictions, you can create sprites atop of the textbox

Hey

I want to check if the user has typed anything into the textbox. If he did not enter anything, the button should be invisible.

Thanks much guys!

you can check if len(textbox.text) > 0, it means player has entered something.

Now is another problem;

Because I have 3 text fields and the condition only works for the last one. This means that if the user does not enter anything in the first 2 text boxes, the system does not see this.

This is how to solve it:

R-click to make OR block and you don't need to put them in every tick.

It works great, even without "every tick" ;-)

You could also detect text change. This way you could also have presetted text in your textbox
