- Change the color of selected text.
- Change the font of selected text.
- Change the size of selected text.

And now?

---Sorry for short message, I not speak english.

[peter henry]

I don't know.
Davve, can you make it?

Well, you'll have to use an array which holds the colors for each character in the text. Shouldn't be that hard to implement, maybe I'll add it if I get the time.

Ok.
Thank you.

You won't need to do that. You could use formatting in the string. Run through the string and when you come across something like, "/c", read the next 3 characters as bytes and convert that to an RGB color, then just set the drawing color.

This is how I do it.

Yes! exactly what i wanted! Thnx.

[peter henry]

I am waiting.

@peter henry Are you waiting for someone to make you an example on formatted text?

[Davve]

Looks like he is.

[AndrewB]

I actually got a semi working color formatting version working, the only thing I have to do now is make it when removing text that the colors aren't affected. I guess it'll not be too hard...

Hello everyone, I'm new here.

I've been tinkering with this for a little while now and I'm curious: Does anybody know a method for getting the lines to stop? Like if I wanted to make a text box limited to say 10 lines, how would I go about that? I've been plugging away at this for 6 hours and I got the word wrapping to work just how I want, but the line limitations just completely escapes me. I love the text editor though it's EXACTLY what I've been looking for. Thanks much for everyone's time.

First, replace line 67 in the step event with this (Replace NUMBEROFLINES with the maximum number of lines to allow):

while (string_length(keyboard_string)>0 && string_count(chr(10),typing_string)<NUMBEROFLINES) {

And then add this between line 80 and 81:

keyboard_string=""

yes that all seems handy but how would i go about making multiple text fields?

Create more instances of the object?

Edit: But then you'd have to write some extra code to only make the user be able to type in one box at a time, which shouldn't be too hard.

Sonica2, I tried your wrapping code, but there is a new problem. Whenever I paste some text from the clipboard, the program, divides the line into a single character per line column. This only seems to happen if there is nothing on the new line. Is there some way I can fix this, because it's really problematic.
