Imgui string of custom object doesn't update

Hello. I cannot change the value of the string input. Vector2 or Integer works.

Do I forget something here?
Thank you in advance.
Cheers.

You have to press Return / Enter (or Esc to go back to the initial value).

thank you for the quick reply.

can you switch off the “feature” that you have to confirm the value(string) by pressing enter? the other boxes do not require confirmation by pressing enter. (vector2 or integer in that example)

You can create a custom editor for your type like it is shown in the HowTo Build A Custom Editor help patch. If you use the “systemwide method” you’ll have to restart vvvv after creating the editor class and the CreateObjectEditor method for it otherwise it won’t be picked up by the system, just F9 is not sufficient.

Thank you! I’ll give it a try.
