Hello, could someone give me a hand with this?

I need to make that every time I write something in the textbox and then press the “Enter” key this text is displayed in the textlabel, how is this possible?

script:

UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") 
local aKeyPressed = false 

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent) 
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.KeypadEnter then 
		print ("Pressed enter key") 
	aKeyPressed = true 
	while aKeyPressed == true do 
		wait() 
		-- do something here
	end 
end 
end) 

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent) 
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.KeypadEnter then 
		print ("End presed enter key") 
	aKeyPressed = false 
end 
end)

Le boop TextBox | Roblox Creator Documentation

The FocusLost event is a nifty event, especially when you want to detect the text being outputted back

Its parameter can be useful in this current situation, since EnterPressed will detect if the Text entered upon removal has been pressed by the Enter key or not

I suppose you could reference it like this, as a LocalScript inside the TextBox object

local TextBox = script.Parent
local TextLabel = script.Parent.TextLabel

TextBox.FocusLost:Connect(function(PressedEnter)
    local CurrentText = TextBox.Text

    if PressedEnter then
        TextLabel.Text = CurrentText
    end
end)

Wow great! This works! Thanks you! :smiley: And what about “Focused” what does this event? :open_mouth:

Looking at the API, I suppose you can think of Focused as like the opposite of FocusLost lol

Focused fires as soon as you hover your mouse on the TextBox, while FocusLost fires as soon as your mouse leaves the TextBox (Or given specific parameters you can detect if the FocusLost was detected by an EnterPressed parameter)
