Hello

log:
Code: Select all

CEGUI::Window* textComponent =
(CEGUI::Window*)CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton().getWindow("SomeMultilineEditbox"); // except im not trying this on statictext
textComponent->setText("This is just some text that shows how nicely [colour='FFFF0000']CEGUI

I know for a fact that it isnt working...
does the multiLineEditbox need some property or something to be set?

Hi
i tried this code from tutorial:
Code: Select all
CEGUI::Window* textComponent =
(CEGUI::Window*)CEGUI::WindowManager::getSingleton().getWindow("SomeMultilineEditbox"); // except im not trying this on statictext
textComponent->setText("This is just some text that shows how nicely [colour='FFFF0000']CEGUI
can format strings.[colour='FF00FF00'] and this is just colour [colour='FF0000FF'] formatting!");
but the tags show up and text is not colored.

As per
this thread, the MLEB was not updated to make use of the new FormattedRenderedString component.
You only have a few options 1) wait for the CEGUI team to add support for FormattedRenderedString to Editbox widgets 2) add this support yourself 3) use the MLEB widget for editing, and a StaticText widget for display.
For example: create a layout with a StaticText widget with an overlapping MLEB widget. Hide the MLEB widget by default. When the StaticText widget is clicked, copy the StaticText text to the MLEB widget. When the user is finished editing the text in the MLEB (say by clicking anywhere outside the widget) copy the MLEB text back to the StaticText widget, and then hide the MLEB widget.

Does StaticText have multilple lines like MLEB ?
and can it be scrolled in scroll box?

Sometimes CEGUI is difficult to take in use but its good GUI!
