Since the original version of this did not have mobile features, I just want to bump this to remind people that the latest version includes the following mobile features:

• Rounded sprite-based customisable corners integrate smoothly with existing UI
• Optional selection methods, traditional or mobile, will react differently with clicking and dragging
• Selection handles (optional) which can be dragged to select, much like in iOS
• Optional dynamic pop up menus which options change depending on what you've selected
• Plus every typical windows input box feature!

As a disclaimer, this asset cannot open the mobile keyboard, there are other assets to do that.

I´ve managed this to create input boxes in Gui layer, if you want to implement this in the asset, here is my small changes :

1*- Duplicate the object inputbox to get a Gui copy to work with.
2*- Replace all "mouse_x" and "mouse_y" variables of all events to "device_mouse_x_to_gui()" and "device_mouse_y_to_gui()".
3*- Cut and paste the Draw_event code to the Draw_gui event.
4*- The same with ObjTestControl, replace all mouse_x and mouse_y varialbes.

That´s all, you have a Gui input box object working in the same way, but profiting the GUI LAYER.
