I said that I didn't mean th my[] thing,
but I already found it : showEditText().
I'm adding an AutoScroll mechanism, but
I think there's something wrong with get_text_size().
Because when I use this :

function shorten(sequence text,integer maxsize)
integer countcount=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

text=shorten(text,my[self][Size][X2])

But after a few shortens :
Normal : "abcdefghijklmop"
Later after typing : norm+"qrstuvwxyz"
but when displaying

norm+"q"
[bcdefghijklmnopq]
norm+"r"
[defghijklmnor   ]
norm+"s"
[klmnopqrs       ]

etc. till -1

(this is only an example)

This is very strange....
