UI Populate stringfield with a string

I wan to write a string to a textfield. In extension this string will come from a external source but for now i just want to make this work.

  • I’m getting no errors in VS Code or warnings
  • If i replace the ui.SimpleStringModel(“This is a test”) with ui.CheckBox( width=20 , height=20) and instead of .as_string i write .model it will print true or fale. Like in the documentation.

I can’t figure out what i’m doing wrong.

returnmystring = ui.SimpleStringModel("This is a test")
ui.Spacer(width=30)
cb_stringfield = ui.StringField(model=returnmystring.as_string, width=80, height=20)
new_style = {   "font_size" :  24 ,
               "color"     :  0xFF00b976 }
cb_stringfield.set_style(new_style)

Error in Omniverse Code

Got the example to work

                with ui.VStack():   
                    self.string_model = ui.SimpleStringModel()
                    ui.StringField(model=self.string_model, width=250, height=25)
                    self.string_model.as_string = "Enter Question Here"
                    self.val_changed_id = self.string_model.subscribe_end_edit_fn(self.on_end_edit_string)

                with ui.VStack():   
                    self.string_model_result = ui.SimpleStringModel()
                    ui.StringField(model=self.string_model_result, width=250, height=25)
                    self.string_model_result.as_string = "Characters in StringField: 0"
             

    def on_end_edit_string(self, item_model):
        string_field_val = item_model.as_string
        str_len = len(string_field_val)
        self.string_model_result.as_string = "Characters in StringField: " + str(str_len)
        string_field_as_string = string_field_val
        return string_field_as_string

After some tinkering

Now i just need to figure out how to

  • make it multiline
  • have the text for questions and replies wrap when it reaches the end of the UI box

I would consider this solved. See first post
