Sorry to Repost - GuiMLTextCtrl and Word Wrap
by William Urban · in Torque Game Builder · 05/23/2007 (1:36 pm) · 0 replies
Hey guys, I'm reposting this hear because theres been no new threads in the GUI forum for about two weeks. I don't know if anyone is even reading them :)
Hello all,
I'm stumped using this GuiMLTextCtrl. So I have a GuiScrollCtrl box and inside that right now I have a GuiTextListCtrl. When I post lines of text to this it works and I can scroll up and down. But the problem is it doesn't word wrap so if my box is say 100 characters wide, when I get to 101 characters it goes out of the box and you can't see it. I was reading in the Game Programmers guide to Torque in the GUI chapter that I can use GuiMLTextCtrl to do multiline text and colors and all sorts of stuff. The problem is that when I replace my textList with a GuiMLTextCtrl everything stops working. I try the %control.addText and that doesn't seem to work.
Can anyone help me in the proper syntax to get it so that if I have a string of say 200 characters it will put it there and word wrap it properly?
Thanks,
-Will
