Advanced StringGadget Question

Hey guys,
hard to explain, where to start?

I have a StringGadget and I want it to limit it's client size where it draws
its text. Here's an image, maybe then it's more clear:

I don't want to limit the character size, it may scroll if the text width exceeds its (new client-) width...

Maybe by setting the client area?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
you can set right margin with

Code: Select all

#EC_LEFTMARGIN = 1
#EC_RIGHTMARGIN = 2

SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Gadget), #EM_SETMARGINS, #EC_RIGHTMARGIN, margin)
