Hi!

 

I have a problem with the GuiTextField. I'm trying to show a GUI to enter a String. But my GuiTextField does not show in the GUI when I open it in the game. Here is my code:

[embed=425,349]public class CustomGUI extends GuiContainer {

 

public CustomGUI(Container inventorySlotsIn) {

super(inventorySlotsIn);

}

 

private int distanceFromLeftSide;

private GuiTextField idTextField;

 

@Override

public void initGui() {

super.initGui();

this.distanceFromLeftSide = (this.width - 256) / 2;

      //net.minecraft.client.gui.GuiTextField.GuiTextField(int componentId, FontRenderer fontrendererObj, int x, int y, int par5Width, int par6Height)

this.idTextField = new GuiTextField(1, this.fontRendererObj, this.distanceFromLeftSide + 10, 30, 236, 15);

this.idTextField.setEnableBackgroundDrawing(false);

this.idTextField.setMaxStringLength(40);

this.idTextField.setVisible(true);

this.idTextField.setEnabled(true);

}

 

@Override

public void drawScreen(int mouseX, int mouseY, float partialTicks) {

super.drawScreen(mouseX, mouseY, partialTicks);

// this.drawString(this.fontRendererObj, "lalala",

// this.distanceFromLeftSide + 10, 30, 0x000000);

}

 

@Override

protected void drawGuiContainerBackgroundLayer(float partialTicks, int mouseX, int mouseY) {

this.mc.getTextureManager().bindTexture(new ResourceLocation("textures/gui/demo_background.png"));

this.drawTexturedModalRect(this.distanceFromLeftSide, 20, 0, 0, 256, 256);

}

 

@Override

protected void drawGuiContainerForegroundLayer(int mouseX, int mouseY) {

super.drawGuiContainerForegroundLayer(mouseX, mouseY);

this.idTextField.drawTextBox();

}

 

@Override

public boolean doesGuiPauseGame() {

return true;

}

}

Does anybody have any idea why this only shows the GUI background and not the GuiTextField?

Any help would be very appreciated.

 

Thanks

Mike

People should really start reading vanilla code. For future: when extending something, actually read its code.

Should help.

 

EDIT - HOLD ON!

Why are you using GuiContainer? My answer above is about placement of BG and slots in GuiContainer that actually corresponds with Container class.

If you don't have Container for your Gui, you most likely don't need it - use (extend) GuiScreen!

I tried GuiScreen first. Using GuiContainer was a try to fix the problem since all the examples I found on the internet used GuiContainer. My Problem is not about positioning, it's about the GuiTextField not being displayed at all. I recognized that in all the examples I found on the internet the GuiTextField constructor didn't have the componentId parameter. Is it possible that there was a recent update that causes my problem?

public class GuiTest extends GuiScreen
{
private GuiTextField idTextField;

@Override
public void initGui()
{
	super.initGui();

	this.idTextField = new GuiTextField(1, this.fontRendererObj, 40, 40, this.width - 80, 20);
	this.idTextField.setEnableBackgroundDrawing(true);
	this.idTextField.setMaxStringLength(400);
	this.idTextField.setVisible(true);
	this.idTextField.setEnabled(true);
}

@Override
public void drawScreen(int mouseX, int mouseY, float partialTicks)
{
	super.drawScreen(mouseX, mouseY, partialTicks);
	this.idTextField.drawTextBox();
}

@Override
protected void mouseClicked(int mouseX, int mouseY, int mouseButton) throws IOException
{
	super.mouseClicked(mouseX, mouseY, mouseButton);
	this.idTextField.mouseClicked(mouseX, mouseX, mouseButton);
}

@Override
protected void keyTyped(char typedChar, int keyCode) throws IOException
{
	super.keyTyped(typedChar, keyCode);
	this.idTextField.textboxKeyTyped(typedChar, keyCode);
}
}

 

This should do it. If you want more use-cases look at textBox's code (e.g: setCanLoseFocus() or setFocused()).

Thank you very much! This works perfectly.
