I just have to say....

package GuiMLTextHelper
{

function GuiMLTextCtrl::setText(%this, %text)
{
   // Do your tag processing here...
   ...
   // Then call the set-text function
   Parent::setText(%this, %text);
}
};
activatePackage(GuiMLTextHelper);

Quote:In Marble Blast, there is a ML tag called '
that sounds very useful! in fact exactly one of the things I was thinking about using. would you mind sharing a code snippet?

hmmm...
I don't think my GuiMLTextCtrl is the same as yours though, unless you were doing a derived class. in my code it looks like I would have to add it to
void GuiMLTextCtrl::reflow() ...and also in GuiMLTextCtrl::stripControlChars


Is there someplace that has documentation about how to use all the tags? I feel like I've seen it before but couldn't find it last night.
for instance I would like to get the "..." rendering like it appears it should be able to do:

//if the atom was "clipped", see if we need to draw a "..." at the end
      if (atom->isClipped)
      {
         Point2I p2 = drawPoint;
         p2.x += font->getStrNWidthPrecise(mTextBuffer + start, end - start);
         dglDrawTextN(font, p2, "...", 3, mAllowColorChars ? mProfile->mFontColors : NULL);
      }

perhaps I have to use the tags somehow. I guess I expected it to just work automatically since the text was clipped by it's scroll container. ..ahh but it auto resizes to fit the text, so I probably need to set up a clip region...yes. yes...hmmm...looks like setting the margins might do it.
