Wordwrap for editbox?

Post by Clash »

I need some sort of textbox, like an editbox but with multiple lines, does irrlicht have this feature?

I found this topic, but there is no such attribute as wordwrap on edit box :?

Edit boxes currently have word wrap, multi-line and text alignment :)
You can either wait some time for Irrlicht 1.4, or grab the latest code from SVN

If you don't want to wait for 1.4 or do it with svn, you could also implement a semi-functional multiline text display using an IGUIListBox in 1.3. However, in 1.3 it doesn't have a horizontal scroll, so you'd either have to add that yourself or break the lines yourself.

By the way bitplane, will list boxes have autoscroll and horizontal scrollbars in the new version?
