Question by falconer · Apr 18, 2013 at 03:23 PM · guiguitextgui.textfield

Disable GUI.Textfield after a GUI button is pressed?

Hello there, I was wondering if it is possible to disable the textfield just like you disable the GUI.button? Any help would do me a huge favour!

 var isVisible = true; 
 function OnGUI() { 
  if(isVisible ){
  bestPlayer = GUI.TextField (Rect (600,120,200,50),bestPlayer, 25);
  isVisible = false;
 }
  PlayerPrefs.SetString("PlayerName",bestPlayer);  
 }

I tried the above code but this doesn't even make the textfield appear.

What did you mean by "disable " ? just hide it ? you can do it with a boolean

where did you switch the value of isVisible ? because with this code the textfield should not be visible. Are you sure that your isVisible boolean is'nt set to true somewhere else ?

 var isVisible = true; 
 function OnGUI() { 
  if(isVisible ){
  bestPlayer = GUI.TextField (Rect (600,120,200,50),bestPlayer, 25);
 PlayerPrefs.SetString("PlayerName",bestPlayer);  
 if (Event.current.keyCode == KeyCode.Return) {
      isVisible =false;
   }
 }

This should disable the gui.textarea once you click "enter" button

This hides it. A way to disable it?
