App Input text for filename (More Info for components)

More Info for components
I want to enter a filename in a textbox and then save the data with this name.
Most text functions are only for displaying text but not for reading it.
It would also be practical if I could already see the macros of the components.
Now I have to drag the text components to the pannel and see if there is a macro to read text.

There are also 2D shapes that are available for 3D?

I assume WebFormText is not for the App or it does not work
What input is needed for the APP-Developer?

See before:

You can use the "EditBox" 2d primitive to allow entry of text in a PC Developer project.

To see the available macros without adding to the panel, right click the component entry in the menu and select "help". This opens the wiki which will list the available macros.

It looks like your image is showing the results of a search. The search will list all components available within Flowcode, even those that are normally hidden from the menus. These hidden ones are often old and no longer used, but may remain in older projects and so the components need to be available.

I do not see the "WebFormTextBox" in my list.

There is also an "Input Text" file for text entry in Web Developer.

Yes I can enter a text but how to read the text?
maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Hi Stefan,
Attached is one way.
I then added a text component:

Hi Martin

Perfect, that's very simple!
I have done this with text set value to editbox2 and it works well.

Brilliant, yep, you got it.
I'm glad you found it very simple.
Those API's come in very handy, especially for component creation.
Thanks for letting me know
