Text fields in turing

-----------------------------------

in turing, you have to declare a procedure that happens when someone presses enter in a text box.

how can I do it such that when the user clicks outside the field the procedure is run?

instead telling the program to look for a carrage return, look for a mouse click.. using Mouse.Where(mousex,mousey,mousebutton)

i dont know anything about gui, so i dont know how to incorporate it. i also dont know if you can change it, but if you can, thats what i would do.. lol

 from the Turing help file (F10 in turing 4.0.4)

GUI.SetDefault Part of GUI module 

Syntax :
GUI.SetDefault (widgetID : int, default : boolean)
 
Description:
Sets the "default status" of a button specified by widgetID. If a button is the default button, then it is drawn with a heavy outline and it is activated when the user presses ENTER (RETURN on a Macintosh).
Only one button can be the default button per window. If a button is set to be the default button, then the previous default button has its "default status" removed.

 
Example:
See GUI.CreateTextField for an example of GUI.SetCheckBox.
 
Status:   Exported qualified.
This means that you can only call the procedures by calling GUI.SetDefault, not by calling SetDefault.

 
See also   GUI.CreateButton. 



Here is an example:
GUI.SetDefault (widgetID, true)
