Disabling wrap on TextArea doesn't work (Windows)

Open GrimStride opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Just what the title says. I have this simple code based on the example:

import nigui

app.init()

var root = newWindow()

var container = newLayoutContainer(Layout_Horizontal)
root.add(container)

var buttons = newLayoutContainer(Layout_Vertical)
container.add(buttons)

var btn_open = newButton("Open")
btn_open.widthMode = WidthMode_Fill
var btn_save = newButton("Save")
btn_save.widthMode = WidthMode_Fill
var btn_saveas = newButton("Save As...")
btn_saveas.widthMode = WidthMode_Fill
buttons.add(btn_open)
buttons.add(btn_save)
buttons.add(btn_saveas)

var txt = newTextArea()
txt.wrap = false
container.add(txt)

root.show()

app.run()

But text is still wrapped. Here's the output from nimble so you can verify i have the latest version:

Indeed, can confirm this issue. Same here.

Just found the root of the problem. This procedure in /private/windows/platform_impl.nim :

proc init(textArea: NativeTextArea) =
  var dwStyle: int32 = WS_CHILD or ES_MULTILINE or WS_VSCROLL # with wrap
  # var dwStyle: int32 = WS_CHILD or ES_MULTILINE or WS_VSCROLL or WS_HSCROLL # no wrap
  var dwExStyle: int32 = WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE
  textArea.fHandle = pCreateWindowExWithUserdata("EDIT", dwStyle, dwExStyle, pDefaultParentWindow, cast[pointer](textArea))
  pTextAreaOrigWndProc = pSetWindowLongPtr(textArea.fHandle, GWLP_WNDPROC, pTextAreaWndProc)
  textArea.TextArea.init()

if you swap the commented line with the un-commented line, it works. i guess this wrap feature is just not fully implemented yet.

You are right, it's not implemented yet. I found this comment:

method `wrap=`(textArea: NativeTextArea, wrap: bool) =
  procCall textArea.TextArea.`wrap=`(wrap)
  # TODO: allow to enable/disable word draw at runtime
  # It seems that this is not possible.
  # Word wrap depends on whether dwStyle contains WS_HSCROLL at window creation.
  # Changing the style later has not the wanted effect.
