Making a textbox lose focus

Hi there,

I was wondering if there was any way I could make a textbox lose focus. There's an action to make it gain focus but none to lose it. I need it so I can make a chat box like those in rpgs where after typing and entering, the player should be able to use his/her arrow keys to move again.

Thanks,

Dengke

Ashley should add this easy option to textbox.

Anyway, you can use calljs plugin.

First, add a textbox and set an <font color="red">ID_textbox</font> in the object's properties.

Then,

<font size="2">[i]When (action)[/i]
--> [b]CallJS[/b] - Execute [i]"var a=document.getElementById(""<font color="red">ID_textbox</font>""); a.blur();"[/i]</font>

Haha yes, that would be very handy if Ashley could :D

The calljs plugin looks very handy! Thanks for the work around! :D

septeven that's a great solution, one that didn't even cross my mind, though I've toiled with CallJS. Thanks for that!

And yep, I'd love to be able to easily get the focus back to the canvas.

Is this still the only way to remove a focus from a textbox?

Thanx septeven

The loose focus option was exactly what i was looking for.

It makes my app more user friendly!
