Hi,

A very newbie question... How do you display a long text in a dialog box ?

Yes, I know : there is a lot of ways to do that ! But often, the simplest is to have a widget like StaticText. However, if the text is long, it does not wrap it automatically. Is there some widget doing that ?

Check if you can use "qtf"

Warm Regards

What about DocEdit (read only)?
Description in Help: DocEdit is form of raw text editor that interprets lines as paragraphs (wraps them).

Mmmm... I tried with RichTextView, but a simple text is not displayed the same way as with others widgets. To have the same default font, you are obliged to display true rtf text with font specification. I'm afraid that it will be the same with QTF...

Yes, it's what I use. Seems to be the best existing widget for that, but it puts a line at the end of the text. It is not a big problem, but not very beautiful... I was hoping to find something better Razz

If there is nothing better, I think that it will be interesting to create some derived class from Static Text. What do you think ?
