Text Control Characters

#1 I just found your old message. You probably don't need this anymore, but here are the tags I found in the code along with notes on some of them:


\n - new line
\t - tab stop
- sample use: "Foo"

- red green blue in hex format

- link color highlight

- saves current text format
- restores text format that was pushed

- left justification
- right justtification
- centers text






- set tab stops?

#2 Still pretty useful response Kevin, thanks, now i don't have to dig for that info!

#3 Hi guys!

How can I make a newline\return in the text of a GuiTextCtrl? I've tried \n, NL, even
but it doesn't work...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

#4 Try @ on the end of it, such as Your Text Here"@ "More Text";

#5 I'm creating the text to be displayed in the engine itself (C++), so I can't use the @...

#6 Just a shot in the dark here, but did you try "\\n" Not sure if Torque does it this way, but for some things I have worked with they required the text "\n" to be there, not the newline replacement that C/C++ will give an escaped char.

Worth trying if you haven't.

#7 Nope, that doesn't work either :)

#8 Try using GuiMLTextCtrl instead of GuiTextCtrl

ML = Multi Line

#9 Now there;s something.. what controls do these text codes work for?

#10 Thanks Ron!
