TextGadget()

Syntax

Result = TextGadget(#Gadget, x, y, Width, Height, Text$ [, Flags])

Creates a Text gadget in the current GadgetList. If #PB_Any is used as '#Gadget' parameter, the new gadget number will be returned as 'Result'. A TextGadget is a basic text area for displaying, not entering, text.

The content can be changed with the command SetGadgetText() and can be obtained with GetGadgetText(). The font of a TextGadget() you easily change with SetGadgetFont().

'Flags' are always optional and can be composed of one of the following constants:

  #PB_Text_Center : The text is centered in the gadget.
  #PB_Text_Right  : The text is right aligned.
  #PB_Text_Border : A sunken border is drawn around the gadget.

This gadget supports the SetGadgetColor() and GetGadgetColor() commands with the following values as 'ColorType':

  #PB_Gadget_FrontColor: Textcolor 
  #PB_Gadget_BackColor : Backgroundcolor

Note: This Gadget doesn't receive any user events, and GadgetToolTip() can't be used with it.

Example:

  If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 270, 160, "TextGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered) And CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
    TextGadget(0, 10,  10, 250, 20, "TextGadget Standard (Left)")
    TextGadget(1, 10,  70, 250, 20, "TextGadget Center", #PB_Text_Center)

    TextGadget(3, 10, 100, 250, 20, "TextGadget Border", #PB_Text_Border)
