ctrlText – Talk

Revision as of 06:22, 17 June 2010

First form of syntax

String = ctrlText idc

doesn't work for me. Can anyone confirm? --HeliJunkie 21:49, 16 June 2010 (CEST)

BI uses it in many scripts. For example in the newdedicatedserverinterface.sqf:

_editPassControl = _display displayCtrl 1113;
_password = ctrlText _editPassControl;

Best check their scripts to learn more. Seems like it wants a control and no idc.

Edit: Warfare has one with IDC (GUI_UpdateDiplomacyMenuEvent.sqf):

_text = CtrlText IDCGENERICTEXT;

If it actually works is a different topic. Anyway just go by the control.

ctrlText works with either an IDC number or a control.

Here is a simple demo.
