Hi,

First of all, thank you for your excellent work on this engine Esenthel!

Here's my problem : I'm currently making a developper console for an upcoming project, and I'd like to be able to select part of the output, and copy it to the clipboard.

I know TextLine supports clipboard operations, but I've found no way to get it to render multiple lines (not surprising I guess, it is called TextLine after all...or maybe I missed something obvious?).

Splitting the output into individual lines and using a TextLine for each isn't an option, as I need to be able to select anything, from a character, to the entire console contents.

Is there any way to do this using built-in functionnality?

If not, any pointers as to how I'd go about implementing this behaviour myself?

Note : the text needs to by copyable using ctrl+c, but not user-editable in any way.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

you can use D.text(Rect &rect,..) to draw text with multiple lines, however it will not allow you to select and copy it.

there is a class marked for future (TextBox) which would serve that purpose, but it's not yet developed.

That was quick. If this is what support priority 1 is like, goodness knows what licensed developpers get!

Thanks for the headsup, I'll leave it as it is until you get round to writing TextBox. It wasn't exactly urgent anyway.

Any chances for TextBox being implemented in the near future? ;-)
