Posted on by jmontoya

I have a search text box where I added and X icon that changes visibility depending on the text in the search box.

for the X icon: If len(TextBoxSearch.Text)=0 visible false else true.

When the X is visible and th euser clicks on it, it should clear the contents of the search box but it is not working

OnSelect: TextBoxSearch.Clear; (not working)

OnSelect: TextBoxSearch.text=""; (not working)

OnSelect: TextBoxSearch.text=" ";TextBoxSearch.text=" "; (not working)

Please advise.

Hi

Tow Methods:

1. Button.OnSelect = UpdateContext({TextBoxSearch.text=" "}); UpdateContext({TextBoxSearch.text=""})
- first " " with space
- second "" no space

2. Alternatively, you may also use:
TextBoxSearch.Reset = Button.Pressed

Hope this helps.

Hi @jmontoya,
@hpkeong is absolutely correct. I actually prefer his suggestion 2. (but you need a button and not an icon; I don't think icons have a Pressed property). But that is easy just place a button intead of the icon, make its text X and remove all border/background etc.

Also, there is a simpler alternative: text inputs have this x for clearing the contents. Whether it appears in the control is regulated by the TextBoxSearch's Clear property (see here in the Clear entry), so you just need to set this to true.

However, the X generated by the clear property is not visible in all browsers and clients, at least in my experience. This is a bug, but it should be fixed sooner or later.

The solution is to pass the name of the control that you want reset to the reset function.
Reset(TextInputName)

Are you mad. "." is not supported inside UpdateContext({TextInput9.Text=" "})

Reset(SearchBox)

The text input will be cleared and will shown default value or hint text.

Also there is setting in properties of text input called "Clear Button". If you set this, the "X" button will be shown automatically.

Best regards
