Inputting and calculating integers, BMI calculator
« on: June 30, 2013, 04:54:19 am »
I'm working on a BMI calculator. I want to have the user enter their height and weight in the window and use that to calculate their BMI. So far, I'm using sf::Event::TextEntered, but I don't want the user to be able to enter characters only integers. I'm pretty new to SFML, so I don't know of any way this could be done, couldn't really find anything looking through the doc. Thanks.

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

class BMICalculator {
        private:
                sf::RenderWindow window;
                sf::Font font;
                sf::Text heightText;
                sf::Text weightText;
                sf::Text inputHeight;
                sf::Text inputWeight;
                sf::Event event;
                std::string str;
               
        public:
                void loadWindow();
                bool loadFont();
                void setText();
                void runProgram();
                void inputData();
};

void BMICalculator::loadWindow(){
        const int HEIGHT = 450;
        const int WIDTH = 350;
        window.create(sf::VideoMode(WIDTH, HEIGHT), "BMI Calculator");
}

bool BMICalculator::loadFont(){
        return (font.loadFromFile("FreeMonoOblique.ttf"));
}

void BMICalculator::setText(){
        //Input height message
    heightText.setFont(font);
    heightText.setCharacterSize(30);
    heightText.setPosition(10, 10);
    heightText.setString ("Enter Height:");
    //Input weight message
    weightText.setFont(font);
    weightText.setCharacterSize(30);
    weightText.setPosition(10, 150);
    weightText.setString ("Enter Weight:");
    //height entered
    inputHeight.setFont(font);
    inputHeight.setCharacterSize(30);
    inputHeight.setPosition(10, 50);
}

void BMICalculator::inputData(){
        if(event.type == sf::Event::TextEntered){
                if(event.text.unicode < 128){
                        str += static_cast<char>(event.text.unicode);
                }
        }

}

void BMICalculator::runProgram(){
        while (window.isOpen()){
        while (window.pollEvent(event)){
                        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed){
                        window.close();
                }
               
                inputData();
                }
               
                inputHeight.setString(str);    
                window.clear();
                window.draw(heightText);
                window.draw(weightText);
                window.draw(inputHeight);
                window.display();
    }
}

int main(){
        BMICalculator bmi;
        bmi.loadWindow();
        if(!bmi.loadFont())
                return EXIT_FAILURE;
               
        bmi.setText();
        bmi.runProgram();
       
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;

}

You need to make a control stucture that filters what you get with TextEntered event.  check the textEntered part of this tutorial:  http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/window-events.php  which shows you how to check the unicode against the ascii table, then just make it only work if they entered a character that falls within the numeric digit range on this table  http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.0/window-events.php
