Multi Line Text?

by Felipe Maia · in Torque X 2D · 09/06/2007 (7:39 am) · 5 replies

Is it possible to write multi line text on the screen with just a command? It doesn't matter wheter it's GUIText or DrawUtil, I just want multi line text.

Look into the GuiMLTextCtrl. It is a multi-line text box that has an HTML-like markup language for changing the look of the text.

Where did you find GuiMLTextCtrl?
It is neither in the API doc nor in the Torque.GUI namespace.

I think that control is a TGB resource, you'd have to recreate it in TX.

I made a TorqueX GUI control called GUITypewriter, that writes out text on the screen, also supports multiline input.

Also, we have a multi-line text control with automatic scrolling controlled by gamepad or keyboard in the next release (1.5?).

@Josh: Nice work. ;)
