Direct key input

[LB]

I have a condition:
- User presses any key

And I want the event:
+ Set Global String B to Blobal String B + the letter/symbol pressed.

The problem is, that event is non-existant as far as I know. And I don't want to program each and every letter and symbol. AND I don't want to use text boxes or anything else that is visible in the frame editor that allows you to type.

Thanks for any help, LB.

maybe try hiding an edit object outside of the frame
and always set the focus on.
then set the Global value to "global value" + get text of "Edit".
then make it display the final result, and de-activate the group that it's in so the user can't keep hitting buttons.

If you always set focus on to an edit box you wont be able to use any buttons, edit boxes or rich edit objects (and maybe some other objects), which may be a problem depending on what you are trying to do. I can't seem to think of another way to do this off hand.

I noticed you are trying to use a global value. Because it might contain letters you should use a global string.

I meant string, sorry, I'll fix it.

If it is Always Global String B + get text of "Edit", then it will go like "wwwwywywywytwytwytwytrwytrwytrewytrewytre" untill it won't accept anymore.

ControlX

Enjoy.

It still doesn't work. It goes like "HhGgEeLlWwXxNn" and so on.

[KetchupMaster]

are you using: LastKeyPressed$( "Control X" ) from the control X object?

Yes, but I fixed it. I was just doing my eventing wrong. Thanks!
