Forums Feature Suggestions Editbox Multiline???

k, where to start. Firstly I'm exstremely frustrated that this has not been noticed and fixed. I've been through days of scripting and halted cause of this lack of funtionality within the on dialog events.

Firstly someone please answer me this:
Why would you make the ability to have a multi-lined editbox and not give the option to grab the line your curser is currently on?

Not unlike selection (.sel) for listbox's but why not a .cur for editboxes etc so i could grab the line or space like it appears in the 'mirc editor'? (1:22/140)


also, that 'on event scroll' is crap.
purhaps the movement/placement of a curser (not mouse, i'm talking about the | that appears when you type) could trigger either the on keydown or on dialog scroll events...


Please please please fix this!! ASAP?

$did(dname,id,1).sel gives the line the cursor is on.

To retrieve the selected text in a multi-line editbox, you use: $did(dname,ID,1).seltext
To retrieve the current cursor line, you use: $did(dname,ID,1).sel
To retrieve the position of the starting selected character, you use: $did(dname,ID,1).selstart
To retrieve the position of the ending selected character, you use: $did(dname,ID,1).selend
To set it back, you use the form: did -c dname ID [N [StartPos [EndPos]]]
did -c dname ID $did(dname,ID,1).sel $did(dname,ID,1).selstart $did(dname,ID,1).selend

The on *:DIALOG:dname:scroll:ID: event is used in conjunction with vertical or horizontal scroll controls, like you might see used in MP3 players for volume or song position controls. It has nothing to do with the keyboard and nothing to do with the mouse inside an editbox control.
