I found an issue where setting the text via setText() was not showing if I did this before tapping on the editbox and editing text. The issue is that setText() checks the textView’s hidden field which is “false” be default, but should be true. I fixed this be modding the initWithFrame: method of CCEditBoxImplIOS.m as follows:
-(id) initWithFrame: (CGRect) frameRect editBox: (void*) editBox
{
self = [super init];
do
{
if (self == nil) break;
editState_ = NO;
self.textField = [[[CustomUITextField alloc] initWithFrame: frameRect] autorelease];
if (!textField_) break;
[textField_ setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
textField_.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:frameRect.size.height*2/3]; //TODO need to delete hard code here.
textField_.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter;
textField_.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
textField_.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleNone;
textField_.delegate = self;
textField_.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeyDefault;
textField_.hidden = true; // +++ ADDED THIS LINE +++
[textField_ addTarget:self action:@selector(textChanged) forControlEvents:UIControlEventEditingChanged];
self.editBox = editBox;
return self;
}while(0);
return nil;
}
Please integrate in to source.
