How to obtain text from TextEditBox on panel

Jan 18, 2012 6:13 AM

Tags: #indesign #plugin #gettext #texteditboxwidget

Hi all,

I would like to ask you, what should I use when I want to get text from TextEditBox. I have observer, which listens for chages(when user hits enter, method Update from Observer is called). The only thing that I dont know is how to get text, that has been placed into text edit box. I know that dialog observer, has method GetTextControlData, but I have Panel...

Thx

    Hi Ondrej

     

     

    You can get text using ITextControlData interface. Like this:

     

     

    InterfacePtr<IControlView> iCtrlView(this, UseDefaultIID());
    if(!iCtrlView) break; // put some assert message

    InterfacePtr<ITextControlData> iTextData(iCtrlView, UseDefaultIID());
    if(!iTextData) break; // put some assert message

    PMString theString = iTextData->GetString()

     

    Regards

    Bartek
