Adding TextBox in Canvas

[mramin05]

Hello,
In my game canvas I want a TextBox to input text.

This is my method

private TextBox playerTextBox(){

TextBox myTextBox =null;
myTextBox = new TextBox("", "", 50, 100);
return myTextBox;


}

How can I set the textBox in canvas? how can I set the position of the text box in canvas?

I have searched a lot but didn't found any clear answer.Somebody says that it is not possible
because the textbox is High level APIbut the canvas is the low level.

I want a textField to get the name of the player to save the record after finishing the game.

Please help me with ideas.

Thx in advance.

Amin

A TextBox is a Displayable object, the same as Canvas. You can only display one Displayable, so you can display a Canvas, or a TextBox, never both.

You will need either to switch Displayable (by calling Display.setCurrent()), or implement your own text input by hand (a lot of effort!).
