Dear Forum,

It's great to play around with u++, very promising!

Just for fun I am trying to make a textfile show itself in two DocEdits like two pages in a book. The text starts in the left DocEdit and should 'link' or 'flow' from the end of that DocEdit to the beginning of the next DocEdit.

I can load a file into a DocEdit like this:

String buffer = LoadFile(filename);
txtPageLeft.SetData(buffer);

But how do I 'link' the textfile into the next DocEdit? How do I find the intersections between the text displayed and the corners of the DocEdit widget?

I am sorry if this question seems trivial, I have just begun using u++ and I am still 'fumbling' around looking for clues and answers.
