How do I achieve a decent word-warp like in Notepad? I think it has to be done manually but actually I have no clue how do do this. So any help is appreciated.

i dunno exactly what you mean, but this lets you create a multiline stringgadget:

StringGadget(20,60,95,182,40,"",#ES_MULTILINE|#ES_AUTOVSCROLL|#WS_VSCROLL)

or its probably this:

pbcrlf.s=Chr(13)+Chr(10)
text1.s = "Line1"
text2.s = "Line2"

SetGadgetText(20,text1+pbcrlf+text2)

so your stringgadget would have:

Line1
Line2

probably this helps

so long,

Well, not quite. I mean that any text that reaches the end of the right side (scrollbar) breaks and continues at the next line. Just word-warp you know?

ROFL!

Fangbeast, I know the #ESB_DISABLE_LEFT & #ESB_DISABLE_RIGHT flags but the doesn't solve my problem. Your example works but as long I don't learn how to write Arabian it's facing in the wrong direction. The text should break on the right, not the left.
