View Full Version : DOTNET - read out / dialog box
j-man 04-13-2007, 12:15 PM Hi,
I'm looking for a UI control that will allow me to send text to be dispalyed, kind of the way the listener does. Consider the mental ray dialog box, or even the VRay dialog box.
I am using an edit text, but of course this is limited to around 256 characters or something.
So I imagine there would be a dotnet dialog box or seomthing, so can someone please send me in the right direction? ?
thanks,
J_man

Hi,
In .Net you have the TextBox, its documentation on the MSDN can be found here :
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.textbox(vs.80).aspx (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.textbox%28vs.80%29.aspx)
The .Net TextBox has additional functionality that is not found in the standard Windows text box control.
You can create it in a rollout like this:
dotNetControl outputText "System.Windows.Forms.TextBox" width:400 height:190 align:#center
on rolloutName open do
(
-- Set its properties like this
outputText.Multiline = true
outputText.Text = "Output Text Example"
)
If you need a custom dialog, you can get a lot of commercial and free custom .Net controls/dialogs.
For example netXP 3.0 is a useful .Net component library (and free :)): http://www.dacris.com/downloads/detail.aspx?id=12
