You can find references by looking in some of these notepad addons
http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=53494

I personally use the below example in my own addons


Lua Code:
  1. function KethoEditBox_Show(text)
  2.     if not KethoEditBox then
  3.         local f = CreateFrame("Frame", "KethoEditBox", UIParent, "DialogBoxFrame")

a good way to do this is using a scrollframe so the editbox won't grow out of your frame

hey, thanks for your answers :)

I got it kind of working



Lua Code:
  1. local _, core = ...;
  2. core.Config = {};

  24. end
  25.  
  26. local function ScrollFrame_OnMouseWheel(self, delta)
  27.   local newValue = self:GetVerticalScroll() - (delta * 20);
  28.

  61.   UIConfig.child:SetSize(475, 450);
  62.   UIConfig.ScrollFrame:SetScrollChild(UIConfig.child);
  63.  
  64.  
  65.  
  66.   UIConfig.ScrollFrame.ScrollBar:ClearAllPoints();

  72.   UIConfig.editBox:SetWidth(430);
  73.   UIConfig.editBox:SetText("Paste the list here.");
  74.   UIConfig.editBox:SetAutoFocus(false);
  75.   UIConfig.editBox:SetMultiLine(true);
  76.   UIConfig.editBox:SetMaxLetters(2000);
  77.  
  78.   UIConfig.inviteBtn = CreateFrame("Button", nil, UIConfig, "GameMenuButtonTemplate");
  79.   UIConfig.inviteBtn:SetPoint("CENTER", UIConfig, "BOTTOM", 0, 40);
  80.   UIConfig.inviteBtn:SetSize(120, 30);
  81.   UIConfig.inviteBtn:SetText("Invite Members");
  82.   UIConfig.inviteBtn:SetNormalFontObject("GameFontNormal");
  83.   UIConfig.inviteBtn:SetHighlightFontObject("GameFontHighlight");
  84.   
  85.   UIConfig:Hide();
  86.   return UIConfig;
  87. end

but i'm gonna try your solution, looks way better :)

Hey Ketko,

I'm using this example and I'm trying to do a "Submit" form.
Basically what happens is a slashcommand brings up the edit box which is populated with the value of one of the variables in the addon.
I delete everything and the behavior I'm trying to implement is that by clicking the "Ok" button I would set a new value for that variable (the value to be set to the content of the text field).
I'm struggling with this as I don't seem to understand how the "Okay" button has been generated in the first place as it doesn't seem to be part of the code?
Any help is appreciated!

In your case it might be easier to just use a StaticPopupDialog, you can reference StaticPopup.lua for more detailed examples
Lua Code:
  1. local someVar
  2.  
  3. -- /run StaticPopup_Show("TestPopup")
  4. StaticPopupDialogs.TestPopup = {
  5.     text = "Some text",
  6.     button1 = OKAY,
  7.     OnAccept = function(self)
  8.         someVar = self.editBox:GetText()
  9.         print(someVar)
  10.     end,
  11.     hasEditBox = 1,
  12. }


There is also the AceConfig input option if you want more full fledged options

The "Okay" button there is part of the DialogBox frame template

Here is an ugly example using the global variables because apparently I didn't bother making them accessible as keys at that time
Lua Code:
  1. local someVar
  2.  
  3. KethoEditBoxButton:HookScript("OnClick", function(self)
  4.     someVar = KethoEditBoxEditBox:GetText()
  5.     print(someVar)
  6. end)

Thanks,

In my specific use case I'm in need to paste a looooooooong text in there hence why I wanted to use the text frame rather than the Static Popup Dialog I guess.

I tried working with your other code example with the "Okay" button but I'm getting some errors in the code,
it seems this line is making some fuss:
Code:
KethoEditBoxButton:HookScript("OnClick", function(self)
I was able to modify it to use the "escape" key instead but this is just a temporary solution till I figure out how to use the Okay button instead:

Code:
        eb:SetScript("OnEscapePressed", function(self)
                lootlist = eb:GetText()
                f:Hide()
        end)
Any help is welcome as these UI elements are completely a new territory for me.
