- Hi,
-
- I'm writing an address book prog using DICE and I was wondering if anyone knows
- of a way to implement multiply line TEXT_KIND gadgets using gadtools. Is there
- an easy way of doing this? I've thought of two ways.
-
- One way is to draw a bevel box and manually write the text to the screen using
- IntuiText elemnts. This is a pain to set up, as it would involve manually
- clearing the text area and redrawing... Not my cup of tea.
-
- Second way seems ideal, but it dosn't work. This involves making a
- LISTVEW_KIND gadget, but without the scroll bars. Problem is you can't make
- them without the scrollers. Or maybe you can? Maybe there is a mystery flag
- which I havn't seen....
-
- So, does anyone know how to implement multi-line text gadgets?
