Multi-Line Text Widget

Used by: None

* Does not use the Style Settings tag.

The Multi-Line widget is not linked to any tag. It can be found within the Widgets palette, within the Tools folder >> Standard sub-folder.

The properties dialog for the Multi-Line Text widget:

Font

Choose the Font tag that holds the font selection and other style settings for this text.

Note: While it is possible (and very easy) to modify the appearance of the text within this widget using the Format ribbon of the Idea Studio, you will find it much easier to manage a group of similar controls by defining a font tag and selecting that for each. Changes to all can then be made by adjusting the properties of a single font tag.

Text to Display

The editing dialog for the multi-line text.

Note that while text will wrap to fit the visible space, only those line breaks that you type are added to the text.

Horizontal Alignment

Choose between Left, Center and Right alignment.

Type of Border

The two border types simulate an area that is inset in the page or one that is a raised panel on top of the page.

Colors

Sets the color of the text and the background color, against which the text will be displayed.
