That's great news!!! How are you going to get around the restrictions?

Roman Podpora:
That's great news!!! And how are you going to bypass the restrictions?

Write your own class, where the input field will be implemented on a bitmap using CCanvas class. In the future all library controls will be implemented this way.

With each new update, the examples from previous articles may no longer be relevant for some items, as many changes and adjustments are made.

The latest version of the library can be downloaded in this article: GUIs X: Time Element, Checkbox List Element and Table Sorting (build 6).

You can try to match the examples from the previous articles yourself. In this case, you just need to rename the specified methods in the example files to SetItemValue() and SelectItem() respectively.

There were some problems with positioning of elements. We discussed it with Artyom here. It will be fixed in the next version (build 7). The article may be released next week. Or already after New Year. )

Why the empty string in the text input field is not "" but " " "? For a long time I couldn't figure out why the check for empty string didn't work...
