[Feature Suggestion] A Texteditor Control #113

Closed Shakey-Games closed 4 years ago

Shakey-Games commented 4 years ago

The only way a user running a form can input text is with the Textbox control. Textboxes are meant for a small amount of input, one line only.

A Texteditor control would function the same as a textbox, but it would be meant for large amounts of text input. The text would be aligned from the top-left, and would have both a vertical and a horizontal scrollbar. The Text editor doesn't have to have it's text set by the user: the developer can write text in it as well. The control can also be disabled (greyed-out and unable to have text written). See below for an example.

This control is useful for creating Text Editor software, retrieving large amounts of text input from the user, or displaying large amount of text to the user.

Hi, and thanks for the suggestion. It is already an open issue, though - check #19 - so I'll have this one closed.

Ah, understood.
