NiftyGui TextField on press ENTER key?

Troubleshooting gui
1

Hello guys, I don’t find any documentation on how to call a controller method on keyUp or on keyDown, the interactive tag only handles mouse clicks.

can anyone shed light on this?

Thx!

or do I have to use the regulat inputListener?
I have no clue.

Not sure if you have any problem with using the event subscriber but you could try this (not sure if it’s outdated):

You know what forget it, it now works, i dunno why it didnt work before :confused: maybe I mistyped the id or something.

Instead of creating a new topic I would like to bump this topic.

I am having the same issue as @navycougar.

What is a good way for me to detect that an enter key has been clicked? Currently I’m thinking the <Interact> and OnClickAlternateKey attribute might be useful…

Thanks

hey paladinKetchup,
i remember using this for handling the chat, well i did like untothebreach said, i used an event subscriber on my input control.

[java]@NiftyEventSubscriber(id = “myTextField”)
public void onMyTextFieldInputEvent(final String id,
final NiftyInputEvent event) {
if (NiftyInputEvent.SubmitText.equals(event)) {
// Do Something
}
}[/java]

thanks for the reply mate. but where and how do i specify that the “event” was a enter key?

[java]if (NiftyInputEvent.SubmitText.equals(event)) {
// Do Something
}[/java]

this actually is equals to write, in pseudo code :

[java]if(event is Enter){
//do something
}[/java]

Despite this is an old thread, none of the answers worked for me, may be something changed?

only this worked when ENTER key is pressed on textfield:

if(inputEvent.compareTo(NiftyInputEvent.Activate)==0){
