New class for SFML2: TextArea.

[Cierpliwy]

After look at the ver. 0.1, code seems to be very, very buggy. But I hope Ver 0.2 will be the stable one. Maybe I'll finish it today I'll check your fix soon Laurent.

woah the comments are in russian O_o

can you give a version with English comments plz?

[Cierpliwy]

If I finish stable version of TextArea, I'll surely put it there and translate comments as well. Now, my implementation is too bloated, complicated and limited (about 1000 lines of code). So Version 0.2 won't appear very soon, unfortunately

PS. It's not Russian, It's polish

[buggy123]

oh...I'm sorry...didn't realize it was polish. Anyways, keep up the good work

[Cierpliwy]

I just want to communicate that I'm still writing my TextArea class. I've finally done parsing part, so the worst is behind me If there aren't any bigger problems, Maybe I'll finish it today or tomorrow. I'll also create new topic in SFML Projects for that purpose.

Hey - did you ever get around to finishing? This project looks really interesting!

[BobTheFish]

This is a really useful class!

Please tell me what features should I add to TextArea class!

Superscript and subscript would be nice
(that's the  and  tags)

[Cierpliwy]

Unfortunately, I probably won't finish this class because I'm hardly studying, now ;/ I also encounter many issues and problems while implementing my vision of TextArea. It was quite hard to do this!

Also I lost my main code due to small accident. So I can't even give sources to someone who would like to continue my job. Sorry for that. It's my mistake.

I would like to bump this thread to say how unfortunate it is, that the code was lost...

Does anybody have a copy of the code somewhere? Or maybe a similar library lying around? Cierpliwy's class seemed pretty powerful and I wouldn't like to implement a TextArea on my own if there's a good alternative...

btw: version control systems - they rock. And time-proven pastebins are also ok

[Lo-X]

Oh that's a really good job. I would have needed it a few days ago (multiple color on the same line) and I finally split my text in multiple parts. I'll download it but i can't study it right now. I have my own GUI, can I implement something like you drawing inspiration from your class?

[eugustus]

Ok.. I programmed a bit. It was about ~500 lines of code to implement basic TextArea class.


Put this files in your project:
- http://paste-it.net/public/q98ffc4/
- http://paste-it.net/public/jc6dcfd/

I'm waiting for your opinions and propositions.

Hello. You should someone please Actual links to these files? paste-it.net does not work anymore ... Thank you

Ala google translator...

This topic is over 4 years old, it's not surprising that some links might have stopped working. Please don't write on years old topics, if you don't have anything useful to add.

If you want a rich text class, then here are two alternatives:

Thanks eXpl0it3r. But I go to use ImGui (aka Dear GUI)  Its have multiline text edit box
