How to made statictext or editbox scrollable

humorstar · Post by **humorstar** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 7:17 pm

The statictext and editbox in Irrlicht GUI do not automatically add a scroll bar when the text is bigger than the give rectangle area.

Is it possible to add a scrollbar to it with little effort?
Thank you,

You could use the panel class that Klasker made. You can find it in the GUI editor directory (tools/GUIEditor/CGUIPanel.*) put any elements inside and it will automatically add scrollbars

any indication scroll bar will be added to edit text in the future releases?

I had no such plans for edittext so far (is that really typically used in an editbox?). For static-texts scrolling itself must be improved first, I have already written 2 patches for that (first one wasn't so good) and plan to apply the latter whenever I find time for it. Then it will at least be easier to code that.

turns out just the event receiver needed to be updated to work with 1.7 for some reason it was compiling without the "const SEvent& event" part and running anyway heres a link

Updated with mouse scrolling
