Multiline String Gadget *with* wrapping?

Anyone? I have tried various combo's of styles but it appears that #ES_AUTOHSCROLL is always set.

You want to remove the #ES_AUTOHSCROLL Style from the Gadget, is that right?

Try this:

Code: Select all

Styles.l = GetWindowLong_( GadgetID(#String) ,#GWL_STYLE)
Styles = Styles & (~#ES_AUTOHSCROLL)
SetWindowLong_( GadgetID(#String) ,#GWL_STYLE, Styles)

Where #String is the Gadget Number of your String Gadget.

Hope this helps...

Yep, already tried this. I also pasted your code in with minimal changes (see below) but no luck. Getting frustrated now, been on it for a couple of hours, grrrrr.

#WINDOW_Main = 0

#WindowWidth = 256
#WindowHeight = 192

Declare ChangeStatus(Text$)

If OpenWindow(0, 400, 200, #WindowWidth, #WindowHeight, #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget, "MetaNotes")
*MainWindow = WindowID(#WINDOW_Main)

If CreateGadgetList(WindowID())

StringGadget(0, 10, 15, 100, 140, "", #PB_String_Multiline)

Styles.l = GetWindowLong_( GadgetID(0) ,#GWL_STYLE)
Styles = Styles & (~#ES_AUTOHSCROLL)
SetWindowLong_( GadgetID(0) ,#GWL_STYLE, Styles)

If CreateStatusBar(0, *MainWindow)
AddStatusBarField(#WindowWidth)
ChangeStatus("Hello!")
EndIf
EndIf

Repeat
EventID = WaitWindowEvent()

If EventID = #PB_EventGadget

Select EventGadgetID()
Case 0
ChangeStatus("Main Window Event: "+Str(EventType()))

EndSelect

EndIf

Until EventID = #PB_EventCloseWindow

EndIf

Procedure ChangeStatus(Text$)
If Text$
StatusBarText(0, 0, Text$, 4)
EndIf
EndProcedure

I've got bad news four you.

From Microsoft Platform SDK
After the control has been created, these styles cannot be modified, except as noted.

#ES_AUTOHSCROLL is one of the Styles you can't change after the creation of a StringGadget, sorry.

You must create it, it can't be changed with SetWindowLong_():

EDIT: Corrected and 'generalized'.

UPDATE: Added GadgetToolTipEx().

Gulp! Thanks both. Would be nice if PB supported this natively. @El_Choni: you've saved my day! I'm now busy generalising your code because I probably need a few of these. Spotted one error in GetGadgetTextEx(), "text = PeekS(Buffer)" needs to be "text.s = PeekS(Buffer)". Thanks again.

El_Choni, real cool dude! I'll try it tomorrow. Still, seems a lot of code for what could be solved by a small(?) change to the stringgadget() command, unless I'm over simplifying things. Fred? Any comment?

You're absolutely right, the only reason I've made all those commands is because I'm unemployed right now, so I have enough spare time (not enough spare money, of course , and I wanted to learn some more about the Windows API. The GadgetToolTipEx() was a tough one for me! So you don't have to feel guilty for making me code, coding is fun XD

I split your code into 2 files, one the main routine, the other "WrapStringGadget.pbi", and tested it with 2 gadgets. The only thing I had to change was a typo in WndProc() as shown below. Works a dream. I also commented out the SetWindowCallback(@WndProc()) because I don't need those events, but it's a good example for anyone who does.

Sorry to hear you are unemployed and I hope you find work soon. I'm in the same boat. Are you coding anything specific or just tinkering?

- In Procedure WndProc(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam)...

If (GetWindowLong_(hWnd, #GWL_STYLE)#ES_AUTOHSCROLL)=0 And EditClass="Edit"

...changed to...

If (GetWindowLong_(hWnd, #GWL_STYLE) & #ES_AUTOHSCROLL)=0 And EditClass="Edit"
