I need to get this up tomorrow but I still have no clue how to do it. I want a simple function like a box where people can type text in and a save button, that simple. so the display is the same place where people can type. How can I do that?

PS: tasktoy.com has this kind of boxes,

You haven't received any responses yet because your post is ambiguous.

First, what language are you using. Ok, I understand that you want a textbox and a save button. Where are you wanting to save the input. Lastly, "so the display is the same place where people can type" - I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.

Please repost here with more specifics and perhaps someone can help you.

Do you mean that you want an input field that will display the result inside the field itself? Or just above it in the window?

Either way, there is more to consider than just making the box, you need to think about what you want the data that is inserted to accomplish. Do you just want them to type in something, click on the button and have it displayed just in that window?

This is generally referred to a form and to make one, you'll need to write a script in your choice of language, to:

A: set the variables for the size, shape, color, etc. of the window
B: define the output display field
C: define the input field
D: store the data
E: compare the data against your formula of what it should do in order to determine what should display when the button is pressed
F: whether to link to another window or area, or to return to its original state after the action is performed.

This isn't even close toa comprehensive list of what you have to do to accomplish your task, but maybe it can help you figure out where to get started in learning how to create window classes to perform simple data queries, or if-then type statements.

A good place to start is go to google and search for tutorials on creating forms.

If you would like a custom-made step-by-step tutorial on creating forms, simply join my forum on my website and post your request. I will gladly write your tutorial and post it in the tutorials section of the site, free of charge.

Good Luck!
