- Subject: TextBox() => PICT
- Gentlepersons,
-
- I am using TextBox() to draw multi-line strings in a view which can be saved
- as a PICT file. While everything else in the picture comes out just fine, the
- multi-line text does not, in this respect: each line is a separate object in
- the picture; I had expected (and would prefer) to have the entire multi-line
- string be a single PICT object. I assume that this is because TextBox() makes
- a separate call to DrawString() (or some such) for each line of text it draws.
-
- I would like to continue using TextBox(), since it works well in all other
- respects, but nonetheless I must address this problem.
-
- And so, I ask of you: If any of you have any idea how I might force TextBox()
- to place its results into a single string object, I would appreciate it.
- (Grouping all of the separate objects that result from a single call to
- TextBox() is an obvious technique, but it seems like a kludge to me. Still,
- if anyone feels that this is an adequate solution, I'm willing to be
- convinced.)
-
- Grateful for your assistance, I remain
-
- Yours,
-
