Download the beta version r174. Link at the bottom of this page.

ohhh

thanks

See the attached capx.

Your idea is on the right track.

The issue is that you set the text to become a number, instead of using an expression like "left()" (also possible "mid()" or "right()") to actually manipulate the current content of the text.

I have downloaded free version of c2 today.

still your capx not get open

y it is so?

if you attached screen shot then it will help me a lot.

Ok no problem

Thanks for everything

Problem is solved.

Kyatric

sure read only property is there. but i can not use textbox.

thanks u for ur attention and help.

OK, I just can't seem to let this 1 go. Here is a way to do it. Use a "ShowCursor" variable and when the cursor should be shown, append "|" (the pipe symbol). See the attached edited version. Use a timer to define when the ShowCursor is set to true.

[Edit] added a basic version. The first version has some functions that may not be clear but only uses 2 events instead of 5.

thank u so much for capx.

but i am not able to open it since m having 173 version.

can u please save this project in 173 and post it again.

need a help.....

You can't really affect a flash to a single letter inside a text object.

Either you could cheat and add a sprite on top of the text object, moving it along and having it flashing, giving it a kind of "prompt" look like on old computers (basically a flashing square) but it is a bit involved to find out exactly where to position it.

As far as I can think of at this moment, I don't think there is not an easy solution out of the box.

thanks for replying my post

sure i will try this out.

Now that I understand the question, have you tried changing the Text object with a Textarea object? If you use a Textarea object, it displays a cursor at the end of the text.

One thing to remember, you will have to set the Textarea focused to see the cursor and if it ever loses focus, the cursor will disappear.

I edited your example with the suggested change and attached it.

I hope that helps and good luck with your project.

thanks FragFather.

thatz exactly what i am looking for.

but i can not used textbox object as user having can edit or delete the text.
