How to make a textbox

[Qiu3344]

Hello, I'm making a GUI library and I'd like to ask how to make a textbox with horizontal and vertical scrolling


Edit: maybe you can recommend a GUI library that alredy exist

You can try TGUI: https://tgui.eu/
My team is using it exclusively for our engine's in-game UI (shh, texus doesn't know yet).

You can also check out SFGUI: http://sfgui.sfml-dev.de/
And ImGUI: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui

Thank you for the answer     I

I will try TGUI 

Edit: 0.74 or 0.8?

Unfortunately TGUI does not support horizontal scrolling in TextBox, only vertical. Although I don't think SFGUI or ImGUI have support for it either. For ImGUI there does seems to be an open issue for it with some hacky partially working code from 2015 though.

0.74 or 0.8

If you want to use TGUI then 0.7.4 is for when you want to be certain that my future patches don't break your code, 0.8-dev if you want to have the latest stuff but find it acceptable to from time to time make changes in your code when updating to a newer revision. The layout system is currently the only part that is still planned to get an overhaul in 0.8-dev in a few months, although there probably will be some other major changes that I will come up with afterwards.

shh, texus doesn't know yet

He does now

ImGUI looks pretty good, but on that image I can see that I can't set the location of the GUI elements:

I know already  GTKmm so maybe there is a way to use it with SFML ?
