Hi,

I’m searching for days for how to make a dialog box like this to enter some text :

Thanks in advance

Use NUI (not to be confused with Native UI, search forums). NUI uses html/css/js.

DisplayOnscreenKeyboard(false, "FMMC_KEY_TIP8", "", "", "", "", "", 64)
input = true

Then you must have something like this in a while loop because you can only get the input if the results are sent on the same game tick.

if input == true then
	HideHudAndRadarThisFrame()
	if UpdateOnscreenKeyboard() == 3 then
		input = false
	elseif UpdateOnscreenKeyboard() == 1 then
		local inputText = GetOnscreenKeyboardResult()
		if string.len(inputText) > 0 then
			-- Do something with the input
		else
			DisplayOnscreenKeyboard(false, "FMMC_KEY_TIP8", "", "", "", "", "", 64)
		end
	elseif UpdateOnscreenKeyboard() == 2 then
		input = false
	end
end

Refer to the natives:

I’m not sure that’s NUI which is used in this case, seems to me that this is native from GTA V (and I think I already seen that, but I may be wrong…)
But I will use NUI if there is no solution with native :wink:

Okay, thanks Cosmo, I will try this :smiley:

EDIT :
DisplayOnscreenKeyboard works like a charm, thank you very much !!! :smiley:

It’s just that NUI allows for much more customization. Granted, if all you ever need is a tiny bit of text, NUI might be overkill.

Can you show your final code about this input text ?

how you get the input in a table for exemple and about your while loop

thanks

To answer to @Thefoxeur54, I can’t share my scripts right now. All I wanted to know with this post is the name of the function, and with that, I was able to make this dialog box.

To help you a little, I found another code logic on internet (this post) :

DISPLAY_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD(1, "FMMC_MPM_NA", "", "", "", "", "", 30); // Display the dialog text
while (UPDATE_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD() == 0) // Loop until the player enters text or exit
{
    DISABLE_ALL_CONTROL_ACTIONS(0);
    WAIT(0);
}
if (!GET_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD_RESULT()) return; // GET_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD_RESULT() indicates if the player typed some text
DWORD model = $(GET_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD_RESULT()); // GET_ONSCREEN_KEYBOARD_RESULT() will return the text input

Now, if you understand this code, you will be able to translate it into lua as all these functions are available.

DisplayOnscreenKeyboard(1, "FMMC_MPM_NA", "", "", "", "", "", 30)
    while (UpdateOnscreenKeyboard() == 0) do
        DisableAllControlActions(0);
        Wait(0);
    end
    if (GetOnscreenKeyboardResult()) then
        local result = GetOnscreenKeyboardResult()
    end

In LUA :wink: and it works perfectly, big thanks :heart:

I’m having an issue with this, I am integrating this into a NativeUI custom menu, But when I press escape when the input box is open, I cant open the menu again. Is there a way to solve this?
And also, is it possible to change the name of the text box?
