TextBox selection

Hi

If i have two TextBox objects placed side by side and the user taps/clicks/touches on any one of them, then can i know which one he has selected or tapped on? Depending on that, i need to change its color so that it seems selected. Also can i change/set the value ont he text box at runtime, i mean on pressing some of button by the user? if yes please let me know how.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, At first you could add pointers to both TextBoxes into your Form class description (where your controls are placed): Tizen::Ui::Controls::TextBox* __pTextBox1; Tizen::Ui::Controls::TextBox* __pTextBox2; You could create both TextBoxes using UI Builder and get pointers to both controls in yourForm::OnInitializing this way: __pTextBox1 = static_cast(GetControl(IDC_TEXTBOX1));... or you could construct TextBoxes in code like here: https://developer.tizen.org/help/index.jsp?topic=/org.tizen.native.apireference/classTizen_1_1Ui_1_1Controls_1_1TextBox.html 1) To determine focused TextBox use IFocusEventListener class. At first to register your TextBoxes this way: __pTextBox1->AddFocusEventListener(*this); __pTextBox2->AddFocusEventListener(*this); and reimplement virtual method OnFocusGained (const Tizen::Ui::Control &source); like this (in yourForm::OnInitializing): void yourForm::OnFocusGained(const Tizen::Ui::Control& source) { if (&source ==__pTextBox1) { //first TextBox in focus } else if (&source ==__pTextBox2) { //second TextBox in focus } } 2) To change Text/Background color of TextBox which in focus: If you have created TextBoxes with UI Builder you could set properties there for each element: - Highlighted Color - Highlighted text color for constructed in code TextBoxes you could use API : SetTextColor(TEXT_BOX_TEXT_COLOR_HIGHLIGHTED,Color::GetColor(COLOR_ID_GREEN)); SetColor(TEXT_BOX_STATUS_HIGHLIGHTED,Color::GetColor(COLOR_ID_BLUE)); 3) To update TextBox on button press you could use virtual reimplemented method OnActionPerformed of IActionEventListener class yourForm::OnActionPerformed { … __pTextBox2->SetText(L"MyText"); __pTextBox2->Invalidate(false); … } Alexey.
