A Plain-text only editorGadget?

Before I spend another entire day (or more) in MSDN and the RTF documentation, does anyone know if it's possible to specify an editorGadget as plain-text ONLY.
I'd like to use an editorGadget to allow the entry of text but I would prefer if the user not expect their output data to include any formatting that may have been entered e.g. via a command or "paste" or whatever.
I know i could plainText the data after entry, or disallow any rich text type commands at entry via callback, but would prefer if their were another, easier, method.
If there any API or other command, which will set the editor as accepting plainText only?
cheers

You can use a multiline StringGadget.
Code: Select all
OpenWindow(0, 100, 100, 300, 300, "")
StringGadget(0, 5, 5, 290, 290, "", #ES_AUTOHSCROLL | #ES_MULTILINE | #WS_BORDER | #PB_String_BorderLess)
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
End

Actually, Mr Fox, that was my initial approach (but I was unaware of the autoscroll capability
, so I had very limited entry (3 lines) - it's a small area)
I may need to use this, if there's no way to employ the editor.
Thanks once again.
cheers

Alternatively you can play with #EM_SETTEXTMODE and #TM_PLAINTEXT (though I can't make it work)
Stuff to spend another day anyway

Hi rsts
Code: Select all
OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 640,480, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_SizeGadget|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
;CreateWindowEx_(#WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,"EDIT","", #WS_VISIBLE | #WS_CHILDWINDOW | #ES_AUTOHSCROLL |#ES_AUTOVSCROLL | #ES_MULTILINE | #ES_WANTRETURN |#ES_NOHIDESEL,50,50,300,300,WindowID(0),200,GetModuleHandle_(0),0)
CreateWindowEx_(#WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,"EDIT","", #WS_VISIBLE | #WS_CHILDWINDOW | #WS_HSCROLL|#WS_VSCROLL| #ES_MULTILINE | #ES_WANTRETURN |#ES_NOHIDESEL,50,50,300,300,WindowID(0),200,GetModuleHandle_(0),0)
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
End
Is that what you mean?
Check both types
Have a good day

You need to clear the
text first - even though the control looks empty.
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 322, 150, "EditorGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
hWnd = EditorGadget(0, 8, 8, 306, 133)
SetGadgetText(0, "")
SendMessage_(hWnd, #EM_SETTEXTMODE, #TM_PLAINTEXT, 0)
For a = 0 To 5
AddGadgetItem(0, a, "Line "+Str(a))
Next
Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

Okay, now I understand
Thanks for clarifying this,

Have you not tried Scintilla?

But someday...

Scintilla is nice (if a bit quirky!
) I have just started using it myself and once you get used to it's api, it is really quite easy to use. I am about to release a wrapper which includes a fully customisable styling / code-folding lexer which you'd be welcome to use. Will probably release today.

Hello,
I suppose, these 2 little functions are useful for you:

Pardon my ignorance, I thought that the editor gadget was just the multiline stringgadget.
If it's the rtf field in windows, what is it in the other operating systems?

The editorGadget, at least under windows, is reasonably complete rtf capable (I'm not sure of the exact RTF specs).
