Multiline Text Widget issues

[CptnWaffles]

Heya! I'm having some issues with what is likely a simple concept but after a few hours of poking I can't find anything. I'm creating a TextWidget in code and reading it's text in via a string table but despite the line having multiple '\n's in it the text is staying a single line. You can see the final result here: http://postimage.org/image/kwo52gss1/

I've tried calling SplitLines() with the render line count set to 8, the text box is a sufficient size (~350 x ~220), the new line characters are definitely in the string (GetLineCount always returns > 1). So why am I always getting all of my text on a single line with the \n characters replaced with spaces?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Grabbing it from the C4 API. Just call the SetTextFlags method and set the flag kTextWrapped.

By default, only the kTextClipped flag is set, and the text widget renders text on a single line that is clipped on the left and right sides of the widget's bounds. A text widget can be changed to a multi-line text box configuration by calling the TextWidget::SetTextFlags function to set the kTextWrapped flag.

If you are using the C4 Panel editor, just hit the check box for multiline.

I figured it would be something tiny I overlooked Thanks again for the help

No problem! That is what the forums are for. :p

If you're placing the text widget in the panel editor it also has a flag for that.
