I'm looking for suggestions on how to accomplish the following:
I have written an application that includes the ability to send and respond to text messages to any network-connected user. Right now, I put each message into its own window. I would like to change this to a "running conversation" with a scrolling display of all messages and responses.
My questions are:
1. What gadget(s) would you suggest I use to allow scrolling of multi-line messages: TextGadget, ListViewGadget, EditorGadget, etc.? The messages can be multiple lines, and I need the ability to wrap long lines. A TreeGadget might be interesting, but I don't know if I can make it work.
2. I need the user to be able to select a specific message to respond to. How can I determine which message has been clicked? The messages will be multiple lines and will probably have a unique header line to identify the sender and date/time.
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
Eric
