Does a Word Wrap Property Exist?

[denreaper]

I was wondering if a word wrap property existed. For example, I can write window->setProperty("VertFormatting", "VertTop");

Surely there's a property such as window->setProperty("WordWrap", "true");

Furthermore, is there a list of available properties somewhere?

Thanks,
Denny

Hi,

this thread points you to two wiki pages with lots of properties:

HTH.

Thanks. That did the trick.

After adding this, it appears to throw exception. Here's my code:

Code: Select all

   chat_area = win->createWindow( "TaharezLook/StaticText", "InGameUI_ChatArea" );
   chat_area->setText("Red Static TextRed Static TextRed Static TextRed Static TextRed Static TextRed Static TextRed Static TextRed Static Text");
   chat_area->setProperty("TextColours", "tl:FFFF0000 tr:FFFF0000 bl:FFFF0000 br:FFFF0000");
   chat_area->setProperty("VertFormatting", "VertTop");
   chat_area->setProperty("WordWrap", "True");
   chat_area->setSize(CEGUI::UVector2(CEGUI::UDim(0.9, 0), CEGUI::UDim(0.6, 0)));
   chat_area->setPosition( CEGUI::UVector2(CEGUI::UDim(0.05, 0), CEGUI::UDim(0.15, 0) ) );

Hi,

try WordWrapLeftAligned, WordWrapRightAligned or WordWrapCentred. Not sure why WordWrap doesn't work. It might not be a property of the default window, and therefore throw.

Always put cegui code between try...catch(CEGUI::Exception) blocks

[denreaper]

None of those do it either.

Code: Select all

Exception: There is no Property named 'WordWrapCentred' available in the set.

It just seems as if Taharez doesn't have word wrap support or something

Thanks for your help thus far.

Aha, sorry i didn't see it earlier. The wordwrap family are not properties themselves, but values for the 'HorzFormatting' property. This should work:

Code: Select all

chat_area->setProperty("HorzFormatting", "WordWrapLeftAligned");


Good luck!

[denreaper]

That worked perfectly. Thanks a million!
