stringgadget wordwrap problem!?

[DEU.exe]

Hi,
following question about a program from purearea.net:

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0,0,0,340,480,#PB_Window_SystemMenu,"") And CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
StringGadget(0,8,8,326,466,"Does anybody know how to set this stringgadget to auto-word wrap? When the text is too long, it is cut out and this is my problem. Do you know understand what I mean? I want the gadget to automatically add a line return when the text is too long and continued in the next line. Can anybody help me? Please! Thank you!",#ES_MULTILINE | #ESB_DISABLE_LEFT | #ESB_DISABLE_RIGHT | #ES_AUTOVSCROLL | #WS_VSCROLL)
Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

This works perfect under winXP, but...
on win98 the text is right aligned?????

Any ideas?

The only workaround for this is create your own StringGadget (edit control), there are examples in the forum.

Use a Editor-Gadget:

Code: Select all

Procedure EditGadgetEnableTextWarp(Id); - Activate the automatic word-warp for a EditorGadget
  GID=GadgetID(11)
  dc=GetWindowDC_(GID)
  SendMessage_(GID, #EM_SETTARGETDEVICE ,dc ,-1)
  ReleaseDC_(GID,dc)
EndProcedure

EditorGadget(1,blablabla)
EditGadgetEnableTextWarp(1)

@Andre:
Can you remove the example above? Because it only work on XP (and i found no information, that it is allowed to use this constants to a string-gadget in the SDK...)

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0,0,0,340,480,#PB_Window_SystemMenu,"") And CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0)) 
EditorGadget(0, 8, 8, 326, 466)
SendMessage_(GadgetID(0), #EM_SETTARGETDEVICE, #NULL, 0)
SetGadgetText(0, "Does anybody know how to set this stringgadget to auto-word wrap? When the text is too long, it is cut out and this is my problem. Do you know understand what I mean? I want the gadget to automatically add a line return when the text is too long and continued in the next line. Can anybody help me? Please! Thank you!")
Repeat 
    Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow 
EndIf

@GPI / Kale: Can anyone test Kale's new code on Win98, please ? On WinXP it works fine, if its the same for other Windows versions I will change the code the CodeArchive to the new one...

[DEU.exe]

@ GPI / Kale / Andre:
Kale's prog works fine, but in purearea the first prog is described with 'stringgadget with wordwrap' and kale's doesn't have the rightclick kontext-menu like in the stringgadget.

@ El_Choni: I know, we talked about this, but my question was WHY?

[TronDoc]

on my w98fe...
DEU.exe's code does wrap and has right-click options, but it is right justified
and Kale's wraps correctly but lacks the right-click options as mentioned.

Thats why I said, that the Example should be removed. It work only on XP and it must not work under other Windows-Version

and kale's doesn't have the rightclick kontext-menu like in the stringgadget.

The program it by your self.

@ El_Choni: I know, we talked about this, but my question was WHY?

Why it not work under Win98? You use constants, which are not designed to use it here.
