Lua Q&A

[Jim Bauwens]

There is a D2Editor, but it really is buggy, so you can't use it.

You can make something like this:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

msg = "" function on.paint(gc)     gc:drawString(msg,10,10,"top") end function on.charIn(ch)     msg = msg .. ch     platform.window:invalidate() end

Of course you will have to do some changes to make it usable, but it should show the basics.

Try to use the class D2Editor.

[edit] sorry I missed jimbauwens's post.

jimbauwens, what's wrong with it? The scrolling?

Because we can't edit it on ClickPad ? (or even I'm stupid)

[pianoman]

Ok, thank you.

Levak: you mean you can't set the focus on it? A quick try with a single D2Editor on the screen gets the focus on nspire_emu.

I can't. setFocus is a nil value :

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

function on.create() editor = D2Editor.newRichText() editor:move(50,50) editor:resize(200,100) end   function on.charIn(char) currentText = editor:getText() editor:setText(currentText .. char) --Add char to the editor end   function on.enterKey() on.charIn(string.char(10)) --Add a new line end function on.tabKey() if focus then focus = false D2Editor.setFocus(false) else focus = true D2Editor.setFocus(false) end end

But yes, if I type some keys, it enters the text, OK.

I have thus found another reason to not use the D2Editor : we can't delete it.

The D2Editor also sucks events for some reason, and my programs start acting really weird after a while. I really would like to use it, but its so bugged that I can't. It just get to anoying after a time.

[pianoman]

Is there a way to resize images in the program?

[Levak]

Yes :

Thanks, Levak!

........... function on.paint(gc) .......Text=editor:getText()  gc:drawString(Text,0,0) end   May this work

[Jim Bauwens]

cypressx1, You can put Lua code in [ code] tag's for better readability

Your code is correct, but you must make sure that you have an editor created (D2editor), and that you sometimes invalidate your screen. Also, you should add "top" to your drawString, because now it will be a bit ofscreen:

Code: Select All | Copy To Clipboard

1	gc:drawString(Text,0,0,"top")

Thanks!

Has anybody achieved +- smoothscrolling?

[t0xic_kitt3n]

I know the Copter game had smooth scrolling but then again those graphics were simple.
