Extend StaticText with method possible? [message #34405]

Hi,

is it possible to extend the methods of a StaticText widget to have additional to the "SetText(const char *text)" a method that ADDS text instead of resetting it?

AddText for example.... "AddText(cont char *text)", can you tell me how to extend it, if possible? (I'm really sure it is possible)

Thank you!

Why not just use

lbl.SetText(lbl.GetText() + add);

?

I use this but I ask myself HOW such a task could be done. It's just to learn / see the technics behind the whole thing.

This thread is just an example to get a (possible) background.

At your level, I mean without changing U++ code, you cannot add this to StaticText.

You would have to create something like StaticText2, derived from StaticText, with your new method.
