textarea - text area gadget to append to text$ - text to append |
|
Appends text to the end of a text area. Adds text after whatever the text area already contains, leaving the existing content untouched. That makes it the natural command for log panes in your tools: build output, a debug console, a chat window - anywhere lines accumulate over time. Text crosses the runtime as UTF-8, so accented characters, CJK text and emoji all display correctly. To start a new line, end the text with a carriage return, Chr(13) - the text area also reports its line breaks back to you as carriage returns. AddTextAreaText always appends; to overwrite or splice text into the middle, use SetTextAreaText with a position and length instead. To colour or bold what you just added, follow up with FormatTextAreaText over the appended range. The world editor shell sample shows a text area working inside a full editor layout.
