CREATE:

focus = false;

STEP:

// ASSUMING YOUR USING A SPRITE FOR THE TEXT BOX //

if (mouse_check_button_pressed( mb_left ) ) {
   with ( all ) { focus = false; }

  if ( position_meeting( mouse_x, mouse_y, self) {
  with ( id )  { focus = true;  }
  }
}

if ( focus ) {
  // YOUR TYPING CODE HERE //
}

EDIT: Small clerical error also If you need multiple boxes for different kinds of input I would go with an array. You can draw your "text box" over the sprites then hold and check in a script somewhere if its the proper input.
