How to toggle editor line/word wrap?

A seemingly simple question. Is there any way to toggle line/word wrapping of long lines in PB (6.02) editor?
I have searched everywhere for the answer, but either I need new spectacles
, or the option doesn't exist.
I've never used any kind of editor that doesn't have this simple feature.
What am I overlooking?

Code: Select all
OpenWindow(0, 270, 100, 250, 120, "Word Wrap Test", #PB_Window_SystemMenu)
EditorGadget(0, 10, 10, 230, 75)
ButtonGadget(1, 60, 90, 140, 25, "Toggle Word Wrap")
For i = 1 To 5
Text$ = Text$ + "This is a word wrap test - "
Next i
SetGadgetText(0, Text$)
Repeat
Select WaitWindowEvent()
Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
Break
Case #PB_Event_Gadget
If EventGadget() = 1
WordWrap ! 1
SetGadgetAttribute(0, #PB_Editor_WordWrap, WordWrap)
EndIf
EndSelect

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but you have misunderstand my question. I am not looking for code to word wrap in an editor gadget, I am asking about the core PB editor window.

You're not overlooking anything, jayand.
Every editor known to Mankind has a word wrap feature - PB seems to be unique in this regard

It shows how to make a tool for the IDE to toggle wrapping.

Thanks, just implemented Danilo's solution.
But still...it's been a part of the Scintilla editor probably since it was written...

I just found this much shorter tool version in my code snippets, and it still works for me. Can't remember where I first got it.
Code: Select all
ide=Val(GetEnvironmentVariable("PB_Tool_Scintilla"))
If ide
c=SendMessage_(ide,#SCI_GETWRAPMODE,0,0)
SendMessage_(ide,#SCI_SETWRAPMODE,1-c,0)
EndIf
