The class of a scrolling-static-text
control.
This widget displays a block of non-editable text that wraps at spaces
as needed to contain the text within the width of the widget, just as
an ordinary static-text
widget does. In addition, it will scroll vertically when not all of
the text will fit within the height of the widget. A vertical
scrollbar appears only when scrolling is needed. The widget can be
scrolled as usual with the mouse on the scrollbar or with the Page Up,
Page Down, and up and down arrow keys. This widget always uses the
double-buffered property for
smooth scrolling and updating.
The value property holds the
string that the widget displays. The draw-focus property determines whether a
rectangle is drawn around the text when the widget has the keyboard
focus. If border-color is not
nil
, then a rectangle is drawn around the
text at all times. The horizontal-justification, vertical-justification, and margin-around-text properties determine
how the text is laid out within the widget. The text may be
scrolled programmatically by calling set-first-visible-line.
Application code that precedes the scrolling-static-text
widget may have emulated
it by using a multi-line-editable-text
widget with its read-only property set to true and
perhaps its border set to
:none
. Using a scrolling-static-text
in such cases may be more
efficient.
