Scrolling text field

Sorry if this is obvious, but I can't seem to find the answer.

I want to create a text field that can hold multiple lines of text, and that gets a vertical scroll bar if the text won't fit.

multi-line-text-input-pane would be fine, but it doesn't scroll.

editor-pane seems to be the only other option, but I don't need all the functionality of the editor or the complexity of buffers.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks,
David Johnson-Davies

Re: Scrolling text field

Hi,

Is that what you want ?

(capi:contain (make-instance 'capi:multi-line-text-input-pane :vertical-scroll t))

Cheers,

Sebastien.

Does the following work for you?

(capi:contain
  (make-instance 'capi:multi-line-text-input-pane
                               :vertical-scroll t))
