Hi @Bird ,

Make the Reset of the Text box a Variable (I will use varReset here) and on the Button OnSelect

UpdateContext({varReset:true}); UpdateContext({varReset:false})

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

UpdateContext({varReset:true}); UpdateContext({varReset:false})
is described in OnSelect of the Button,
Where and what should I write in TextInput?

Hi @Bird ,

As I posted - the Reset of the Text box needs to be

varReset

Thank you for doing it.
By the way, is it possible to reset it 3 seconds after the button is pressed?

Hi @Bird ,

Only with a Timer Control -

OnSelect of Button

UpdateContext({varTimer:true}); UpdateContext({varTimer:false})

Start of Timer

varTimer

Timer OnTimerEnd

UpdateContext({varReset:true}); UpdateContext({varReset:false})

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

UpdateContext({varReset:true});

If only, the timer will work.

but,

UpdateContext({varTimer:true}); UpdateContext({varTimer:false})

If I put both in, the timer will not run.
What should I do?

Hi @Bird ,

You need the code on Start, not OnTimerStart

OnSelect of Button
UpdateContext({varTimer:true}); UpdateContext({varTimer:false})
"Start" of Timer
varTimer
Timer OnTimerEnd
UpdateContext({varReset:true}); UpdateContext({varReset:false})

but, Timer does not count...

And,
Is it possible to erase the characters in the TextLabel when the timer counts and reaches OnTimerEnd?
