[solved]textarea in CEGUI

[Elric]

Hi,

I asked this in the Ogre forums too and writing here too.

I need to display some only readable text on the screen. Story will be presented in this way so texts can be longer than the size of the widget.

I tried to do create a statictext inside of a scrollablepane but it didn't work. (pane wasn't scrollable. maybe I think something wrong.) Any idea how can I do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

You only need a StaticText, because it provides scrolling on itself, and all kinds of formatting options as well. Also, a static text is readonly by design already.

If you have the Cegui samples, please look at the TextDemo, and its corresponding TextDemo.layout file.

Good luck!

I am replying a little late, sorry.

Thanks for the help. I tried using only static image but it didn't work. I will check from the samples and see where I was wrong.

I can do it using a MultiLineEditBox, not with a static text. Thanks to TextDemo.layout

By the way I can not compile the samples, when I include direct3d .h files and try to compile it says

Code: Select all

DeviceReset_Direct3D9.cpp

and goes on...

Do I have have incompatible direct3d .h files? What should I do?

Do the samples compile out of the box? Or didn't you make changes yet?

Make sure that the DX SDK files are included first in the global directory setup. For VC8 that would be Tools->Options->Projects & Solutions->VC++ directories.

HTH.
