Clear TextInput text after input

[Yurij Mikhassiak]

Hello. I know there must be an easy solution as this is a common task but I can't find it.

I have TextInput with corresponding button.

The code is as you see here: 

    

        TextInput:

            id: myinput

            on_text_validate: root.function(myinput.text); 

        

        Button:

            text: 'Execute'

            on_press: root.function(myinput.text)

I want to clear input field after user enters data and press enter or button.

I couldn't find any examples. I think it's possible to use somethink like this:

 TextInput:

            id: myinput

            on_text_validate: root.function(myinput.text); myinput.select_all(); myinput.delete_selection()

But it doesn't work at all. And I even do not know were to look for answer. Can't find select_all() and delete_selection() examples.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Why not simply assign "" to the text?

on_text_validate: root.function(myinput.text); self.text = ""

cheers :)
