GUI.CreateTextField help

[surfed]

code:

locatexy (250, 160)     var alias : int     var name : string     put "Name:"     alias := GUI.CreateTextFieldFull (300, 160, 100, "", difficulty, GUI.INDENT, 0, 0)     name := GUI.GetText (alias) GUI.Dispose (alias)

1) What i am trying to do is store the word that is typed in the "alias" text field into variable "name".
2) After it stores the name, i want it to get rid of the text field GUI. GUI.Dispose doesn't seem to work because when i go to the next screen and cls, the textfield can still be editted..

Did you use Gui.ProcessEvent in a loop? Because other than that your code seems to work. Here's what I got from it.

code:

import GUI locatexy (250, 160) var alias : int var name : string put "Name:" proc difficulty (q : string)     name := q end difficulty alias := GUI.CreateTextFieldFull (300, 160, 100, "", difficulty, GUI.INDENT, 0, 0) var x, y, z : int loop     mousewhere (x, y, z)     exit when GUI.ProcessEvent or z = 1 end loop GUI.Dispose (alias) cls %Screen's cleared locatexy (250, 160) put "Name: ", name

Thanks ^^, i have another question:

code:

loop     mousewhere (x, y, z)     exit when GUI.ProcessEvent or z = 1 end loop

When does it process an event? I have to click a place for it to stop, so if i want it to exit when i press enter, then i use the Input.Keydown command?
