refresh UI
Hi Guys, quick question!
I have a script that opens a UI with multiple “textedit” fields that are attached to my text layers within my comps, currently when I open the UI, the textedit fields shows the current text in the text layers. Now, I added to my UI a button that replaces the information of my text layers to something else…. and I would like to have all my textedit fields to refresh and show the current text in the layers without having to close and reopen my UI… Is there a way to do this?
I tried using a function such as:
function updateUILayout(container){
container.layout.layout(true); //Update the container
myWin.layout(true); //Then update the main UI layout
}
But, that updates the layout, not the info within the textedit fields…
Any help will be appreciated! thanks in advance!

To change a text in a text widget, simply do theTextWidget.text = newText;
There is no need to relayout, the text will be changed.
But… you have to specify the new text. In your case, this means retrieving theTextLayer.text.sourceText.value for every pair text layer/text widget that you have.Xavier

Thanks Xavier, as always!
I have so many text edit fields that I was hoping there was any sort of code that would just refresh them or restart the UI. Nevertheless, your recommendation certainly works!
Take care,
Fabio
