is there a graphicswindow equivalent to textwindow.read?

Question

I'm trying to move from textwindow to graphicswindow.

I see that graphicswindow.showmessage is equivalent to textwindow.writeline (more or less).

Is there a graphicswindow method that is equivalent to textwindow.read?  Just a simple statement?

Answer 1

I'm in somewhat in the same boat as you. But the only thing left for me is training more on GraphicsWindow rather than having no idea what to do.

So, I've searched some posts here and found these:

Need help make code react to textbox input

Help with Retrun key in a textbox

There are many others though.

I still have to study them myself ^_^

Answer 2

Thanks GoToLoop.  I've looked at some other posts here as well and there doesn't seem to be a nice little graphicswindow.read routine, which would be ideal, but it looks like you can accomplishsomething like this with more work.  I'm hoping someone has written a nice little one-line routine that does it.
