How do I confirm if there is "NO TEXT" in edit obj

[MikeB]

I am designing an application where I need to verify if there is text in the edit object box. The only reference i see is "If text is a number" I wish there was something like "Contains Text" so I could negate it.

Any suggestions on a code that may reflect that?

You can use 'Compare two general values' and compare if the editbox text is equal to "" (or is different to "" depending on what you want)

Use the "has just been modified" condition, and negate it.

What TreeHugger said. Bruto yours wouldn't work if any other edits were edited after the initial edit box.

Probably true. I used with one edit box only at the frame and it worked fine. Never tried with more than one edit box per frame.

TreeHugger's solution is the best-working one, in my opinion.
