Remarks

When a button is pressed and the pop-up is closed, the contents of the text-field will be returned as the 0th string argument to the EVENT_TYPE_POPUP_RESULT event to the module.

The text is filtered as it is typed using the same filter that is applied to the player's name; thus, you cannot enter spaces nor many forms of punctuation. The text-field is currently limited to 20 characters (same as the player name).
