difficulties with GUI text objects...

Hi, I am working with GUI, especially with objects type Text. The idea is that I want to put text with many lines of any size inside an object type Window, which can be of any size and aspect. I understand the coordinates of Window, but with Text is different...

This is my code:

Code:

char str[10000];

int r;

Font *font;

File file;

file.reset();

r=file.readStdTry("../textos/Fenomen.txt");

memset(str,0,sizeof(str)); file.get(str, file.size());

IGF.wnd.create(Rect(-0.4,-0.5,  0.0,0.8),"Window with menu");

font=Fonts("../Fonts/Arial.font");

static TextDS text_ds; 

IGF.wnd.rect.w(),0),"Text");

IGF.text.create(Rect(IGF.wnd.crect.w()*0.01f, 

                                -IGF.wnd.crect.h()*.99,  

                IGF.wnd.crect.w()*0.99f,    

                                -IGF.wnd.crect.h()*.01), 

                         "Text");

IGF.text.set(str);

IGF.text.auto_line=AUTO_LINE_CHAR;

    text_ds.align.set(IGF.text.rect.w(), -IGF.text.rect.h()*.95);

    text_ds.color=Vec(.6,.6,.99);

    text_ds.font=font;

    text_ds.scale=Vec2(.05);

IGF.text.tds=&text_ds;

IGF.wnd += IGF.text;

Gui += IGF.wnd;

but I cound't find the formula/way to put the text exactly where I want inside de window and I have tried it many hours. Perhaps I am making some mistakes? I need to know the general way to write text...
How I can put a text (of 100 lines for example) inside a object type Window like the Windows XP Notepad. It is posible?

Thanks!.

Have you had a look at the tutorial at Gui > 16 Chatbox? There you can have long messages, and also place text within Rects.

Thanks Chris, before I didn't look this tutorial. I will study the code and after I will try to do it in a similar way.
