I'm new to ControlP5 (and Processing), and want to allow the user to enter two strings (URLs) into a text field, which will then pass into a variable once a Submit button is pressed.
In my example below, I'd like to pass the "textInput_1" and "textInput_2"and pass it into a stored variable that I can user else where.
Thanks!
Code:
import controlP5.*;
ControlP5 cp5;
String textValue = "";
void setup() {
size(700, 400);
PFont font = createFont("arial", 20);
cp5 = new ControlP5(this);
cp5.addTextfield("textInput_1")
.setPosition(20, 100)
.setSize(200, 40)
.setFont(font)
.setFocus(true)
.setColor(color(255, 0, 0))
;
cp5.addTextfield("textInput_2")
.setPosition(20, 170)
.setSize(200, 40)
.setFont(createFont("arial", 20))
.setAutoClear(false)
;
cp5.addBang("Submit")
.setPosition(240, 170)
.setSize(80, 40)
.getCaptionLabel().align(ControlP5.CENTER, ControlP5.CENTER)
;
textFont(font);
intro();
}
void intro () {
background(0);
fill(255);
text(cp5.get(Textfield.class, "textInput_1").getText(), 360, 130);
text(textValue, 360, 180);
}
void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {
if (theEvent.isAssignableFrom(Textfield.class)) {
println("controlEvent: accessing a string from controller '"
+theEvent.getName()+"': "
+theEvent.getStringValue()
);
}
}
public void input(String theText) {
// automatically receives results from controller input
println("a textfield event for controller 'input' : "+theText);
}
void draw () {
}
void showInput () {
//println(textInput_1) ;
// println(textInput_2) ;
}
