[SOLVED]Insert and remove text not working with Events
« on: February 10, 2014, 03:13:15 pm »
Hello everyone.
I'm trying to catch inputs from keyboard and save it to a string and also to remove the last char with backspace.
I can't get it working, i tried many possible combinations but no one worked.
In my aktual try i filter the backspace out on TextEntered event but then it don't consider my action with backspace.
while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
            {
                window.close();
            }
            else if(event.type == sf::Event::TextEntered)
            {
                if(event.text.unicode != 0x000008)
                {
                   insert_last_char(text, event.text.unicode);
                   showing_text.setString(text);
                }
            }
            else if(event.type == sf::Event::KeyPressed && event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::BackSpace)
            {
                remove_last_char(text);
                showing_text.setString(text);
            }
        }

So what's the question/problem?
What do you expect to happen? What happens? Where exactly does it fail?

How i can input and remove chars correctly?
This way i do it isn't working.
It accept char input but not going to third else if case, because it don't remove the char, don't execute remove_last_char(text); i think it is blocked by the if(event.text.unicode != 0x000008) statment but why.
Other ways isn't working also.

Wouldn't this make more sense:
else if(event.type == sf::Event::TextEntered)
            {
                if(event.text.unicode != 0x000008)
                {
                   insert_last_char(text, event.text.unicode);
                   showing_text.setString(text);
                }
                else
                {
                    remove_last_char(text);
                    showing_text.setString(text);
                }

You should seriously just use a debugger and step through this. Coming here and saying "it doesn't work" doesn't give us any information. I am sure if you used a debugger you could very easily figure out why it isn't working properly.

Try this for your hex for backspace:

and how it would be helping me?
my functions are ok i tested it, i think i handle the event wrong and thought you could help me.

Try this for your hex for backspace:
0x00000008
same thing

Does it work the other way around:
if(event.text.unicode == 0x000008)
                {
                   remove_last_char(text);
                   showing_text.setString(text);
                }
                else
                {
                    insert_last_char(text, event.text.unicode);
                    showing_text.setString(text);
                }

Same thing, or a different result?

tried this before, most combinations unfortunately the same result: inputs works but can't remove.

So, same result?

I'd guess, then, that it could very well be something in the remove_last_char() and insert_last_char() functions.
Can we see those?  ;D

text.erase(text.size(), 1);

If "text" contains "hello" then size() == 5, so the erase call would remove 1 character starting at position 5 (that is, string.end() - past the last char). I think you want text.erase(text.size() - 1, 1); offsets start at 0.

O that was easy, thanks it works.
I did have the same solution but with other event combination then i change that and the event, test it but forgot to chage the function back, my fault. ;) I do not know much about the String class in C++ because worked as always with char array and pointer in C :D
