Do you ever read emails completely ?
No no negative values....
Just the wrong values....
I'm working on a ES_AUTOHSCROLL for DOS32LIB,
To remove some things out of a string in a box I use this....
function shorten(sequence text,integer maxsize)
integer count
count=0
while count !=length(text) do
count+=1
text=text[count..length(text)]
if get_text_size(text,0)+16 < maxsize then
exit
end if
end while
return text
end function
[in proc. showEditText()]
text = shorten(text,my[self][Size][X2])
image = build_text_image(text, BLACK, BRIGHT_WHITE, 0 )
text does not change permanently,
it still stays the same and's getting longer when you wright.
The problem is, if I use this a few times,
It get's shorter till -1.
