Write to EVEText control by using it's Tag property?

[ChuckR]

Can I write to the caption property of an EveText control if I know its tag property value?
Example please ....., I use MikroBasic for PIC32.

Are control arrays possible?

Hi,

Can you please explain a little bit further.
What do you expect to achieve?
Which problems have you encountered in your project?

Best regards,

Using the touch screen I wanted a user to be able to touch a text box at which time I would capture the tag number of that text box, then the user would move to an input device like eve keys and when they touched a key I would read it's tag value to get the character and write it to the text box whose tag value equaled the tag value I capture previously.

Put another way,.. touch the text box you want to enter the data in, then enter the data. This could work for a dial control or slider also..any type of input if I know how to write to the caption of the control whose tag number is the captured value.

I have solved my problem but it wasn't as elegant as I would have liked.
I wrote a select case statement using the tag number, then I hard coded the control to input to.

Select Case My_Tag
Case 1
EveText9_caption = My_Text
Case 2
EveText4_caption = My_Text

etc....

I have 9 different controls some are Eve number controls others are Eve text controls so I touch the one I want to change then I rotate the dial control and it updates the value in the control as I move the dial.

Hi ChuckR,

Maybe a look at this topic | [Making] User pointers for better control of objects | will help you.

The principles should work with EVE components as well.
