Limit characters

Hello everybody.
I want to know how I do to limita a text??

I create a Virtual Keyboard and when I click in one number, the number appears in the box (the box is a Text, not a textbox), but if I click in 7 numbers, the numbers desappears.

How I limit the characters ( the numbers in my game isn't a numbers couse I use "." ) in my game, and how I limit the point (".") in the text??



thanks so much.

Give me your e-mail!!!!

Yes Katala, but, I don't use Buttons, mu vitual Keyboar is with sprites...
but your exemple is very good!!

How I do with sprites???

thanks!

@pablolink23 Use mouse object:On object clicked

And I could recommend some basic tutorials

I understanding your exemple!
But, if you want to clear the numbers end put other?
What I do?

@pablolink23 On object clicked ->
Text: Set text ""
Text: Set Character_count to 0

Well, I want to set price and edit tris price!!!
in a Text (isn't a textbox)

I create a button that clear the last number, but when I clear, I can't edit the text...

When you use Len(text) you can't edit the text!!!

I added a sprite to the example made by @Katala

with clear button

Push the pink aquare to clear the text. Easy right?
Have a look at the 1 event I added for that effect.

Learn how to work with C2 and you won't have to ask for everything.
Have you seen the green button on top of this page that says tutorials?
It works!
