return true;
}
now in handle_CreateGame function, i want the function to check either the player name has been filled in or not once the player click "create game" button
but i never get the correct "if" statement and always end up with the false statement
i try
playername->getText().empty()
playername->getText().size()
playername->getText().length() == 0
but none of it are working correctly
the button for the window is working fine
the window disappear once i click the button (i make it visible through overlay)
is there any easiest way to create the message button
and make all the other window freeze for a moment (unable to click the other window until the ok button or any button from message box are pressed)
this is the example of window that i want to achive (not the skin but the structure)
