GUI Multi-Line Edit Control?

by DavidRM · in Torque Game Engine · 04/18/2002 (4:00 pm) · 4 replies

Do the standard GUI controls include a multi-line edit control?

I've done some experimenting with GUI controls that (based on their name) seem to be multi-line edits...but no dice. And scouring the forums and resources hasn't provided any clues.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Nope. Im currently working on one for our project...just need to get scrolling implemented for it. Unfortunately its gonna be closed source though, but if you take a look at the Guitextedit control and guiscroll it should give you an idea of how to do it.

The guiMLTextEditCtrl does work. The problem was that it lacked a guiProfile. Use the following to get it to work:

if(!isObject(GuiMLTextEditProfile)) new GuiControlProfile (GuiMLTextEditProfile)
{
fontColorLink = "255 96 96";
fontColorLinkHL = "0 0 255";

fillColor = "255 255 255";
fillColorHL = "128 128 128";

fontColor = "0 0 0";
fontColorHL = "255 255 255";
fontColorNA = "128 128 128";

autoSizeWidth = true;
autoSizeHeight = true;
tab = true;
canKeyFocus = true;
};

Add that to your defaultProfile.cs then to load the game, make a GUI add a guiControl, set it active, add a scroll control, set it active then add the guiMLTextEditCtrl.
