Question by blabla243 · Oct 28, 2014 at 04:34 AM · get-value

GUILayout.TextField Refresh

Hi! I have a GUILayout.Textfield which I use to enter a new player name. However, the text in the textfield never gets refreshed although the value does change according to the console logs. Any idea how to get the text field to refresh?

Edit for code: private bool createProfile = false; private string playerName = "PlayerName";

 void OnGUI()
 {
   //Display window to enter player name.
   if (createProfile)
   {            
     Rect createProfileWindow = new Rect(Screen.width / 2 - 100, Screen.height / 2 - 35, 200, 70);
     createProfileWindow = GUILayout.Window(2, createProfileWindow, CreateUserProfile, "New player");
   }
 }
 
 void CreateUserProfile(int windowID)
 {
   //Pop up window to introduce player name. Add 'create' button.
   GUILayout.BeginVertical();
   GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
   GUILayout.FlexibleSpace();        
   playerName = GUILayout.TextField(playerName, 50);    
   GUILayout.FlexibleSpace();
   GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
   GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
   GUILayout.FlexibleSpace();
   if (GUILayout.Button("Create"))
   {
     PlayerPrefs.SetString("PlayerName", playerName);
     PlayerPrefs.Save();
     createProfile = false;
   }
   GUILayout.FlexibleSpace();
   GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
   GUILayout.EndVertical();
 }

When posting questions, please include code where possible.
myTextfield.text = "some text"; should cause the text to update.
You can only call GUI methods from within OnGUI(){}
