MultiLine StaticText

What is the equivalent to the object "StaticText" (MultiLine) that is found in VisualBasic? I cannot see anything similar in the "Visual Designer". Is there any better designer tool than "Visual Designer"?

The TextGadget() supports new lines as well (maybe not in the visual designer).

The simplest is to not use the visual designer and just write the code by hand:

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 512, 384, "", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu)
CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
TextGadget(0, 10, 10, 200, 200, "First line" + #CRLF$ + "Second line")

Repeat
  Select WaitWindowEvent()
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
      Break
  EndSelect

Thanks!

BTW. Is it possible to combine different fonts in a string that is printed in a TextGadget?

No, you need to use an EditorGadget() or ScintillaGadget() to do that.
