I can't seem to find a way to auto word wrap user input in a multi-line StringGadget. I found this old thread and some others, but none of them give a solution that works. It would seem a natural thing, as right-justified StingGadgets can be tricked into wrapping just fine!! No user can be expected to enter text in a field that scrolls sideways! Come on, please tell me this has been worked out for v. 3.70! Anyone? /Jones |

Sorry, I have to use the EditorGadget of course. Here's the code from El_Choni. /Jones |

CreateGadgetList(WindowID()) t$="This text goes inside a multiline StringGadget."+Chr(13)+Chr(10) For r=1 To 10 : t$+Str(r)+Chr(13)+Chr(10) : Next StringGadget(0,10,10,200,100,t$,#PB_String_Multiline|#ES_AUTOVSCROLL|#WS_VSCROLL|#WS_HSCROLL|#ESB_DISABLE_LEFT|#ESB_DISABLE_RIGHT) Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow EndIf |

PB wrote: #ES_AUTOVSCROLL #WS_VSCROLL #WS_HSCROLL #ESB_DISABLE_LEFT #ESB_DISABLE_RIGHT Where do these come from? I tried searching in the help menu for them, but haven't been able to find them yet. Where can I find more information on them?It seems that autovscroll sets it to automatically scroll vertically. I don't really see why hscroll is needed. Disable_left and disable_right must stop the code from scolling past the edge of the box to the left and the right. But why do these codes turn the string box into a right-justified box? Perhaps it's hscroll that makes the box become right-justified? |

Why does this work? Comments inline Code: If OpenWindow(0,200,200,300,200,#PB_Window_SystemMenu,"test") CreateGadgetList(WindowID()) t$="This text goes inside a multiline StringGadget."+Chr(13)+Chr(10) ;a string variable was created -- t$ is equal to the text plus some control characters ;t$ is displayed when the StringGadget is created later on For r=1 To 10 : t$+Str(r)+Chr(13)+Chr(10) : Next ;text has been created -- but this information shouldn't be displayed ;see further comments after the code StringGadget(0,10,10,200,100,t$) ;we display t$ at this point when we create the stringgadget Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow EndIf That text, t$+Str(r)+Chr(13)+Chr(10), shouldn't be displayed from what I can tell. It's not saved to a variable, so it has to be displayed right then. But, SetGadgetText() isn't used, Print() isn't used . . . from what I can tell, this text shouldn't be displaying. And yet, somehow, it displays. Why? What am I missing? Thanks.
