Preset Browser Laf || Multi-line?

[Chazrox]

I want to put a line break in this text but it doesnt seem to work. Any advice?

@Chazrox Can't be 100% sure but can't you just do "CLICK THE PLUS SIGN" + "" + "TO CREATE A PRESET" - or something like that

[rglides]

@rglides yep,just tried it. So you add as much space as you want between the "" - so for example "CLICK THE PLUS SIGN" + " " + "TO CREATE A PRESET"

[rglides]

@rglides ah well the message here removed my extra space, here -

"CLICK THE PLUS SIGN" + "        " + "TO CREATE A PRESET"

[Chazrox]

@rglides Im trying that but thats just adding space in between. I need it to break to a new line down.

[rglides]

@rglides I need to learn to properly read original questions here hahah - I think this is what you want

g.drawMultiLineText("CLICK THE PLUS SIGN\nTO CREATE A PRESET", [10, 10], 100, "left", 1.5);

[Chazrox]

@rglides bruh thats the one...lol. Thanks!

@Chazrox how did you do that? I'm trying to change Add a Preset, Add a Category but I can't manage how I could do that

[Chazrox]

@treynterrio

in your "drawPresetBrowserColumnBackground" LAF function, add this and adjust to your liking.

   		if (obj.text == "Select a Column")
   			{
   				obj.text = "";		
   				g.setFont("Proggy", 14);
   				g.setColour(Colours.withAlpha(obj.textColour, 0.5));
   				g.drawMultiLineText("SELECT A CATEGORY\r\n\TO THE LEFT", [75,86], 100, "centred", 2.0);
   			}
   		if (obj.text == "Add a Category")
   			{
   						obj.text = "";				
   				g.setFont("Proggy", 10);
   				g.setColour(Colours.withAlpha(obj.textColour, 0.5));
   				g.drawMultiLineText("SELECT A BANK\r\n\TO THE LEFT\r\n\OR CREATE A NEW\r\n\ CATEGORY BELOW\r\n\(CLICK '+' SIGN)", [a[2]/2 - 40,a[3] / 2 - 30], 80, "centred", 2.0);
   			}
   		if (obj.text == "Add a Preset")	
   			{
   				obj.text = "";		
   				g.setFont("Proggy", 10);
   				g.setColour(Colours.withAlpha(obj.textColour, 0.5));
   				g.drawMultiLineText("SELECT A CATEGORY\r\n\TO THE LEFT\r\n\OR CREATE A PRESET BELOW (USE '+' SIGN)", [a[2]/2 - 40,a[3] / 2 - 30], 80, "centred", 2.0);
   			}

@Chazrox thank you!!!!

[Chazrox]

@treynterrio You're welcome!

[treynterrio]

@Chazrox ok, that messed up my preset browser a bit. Do you know how I can get the column lines back? I tried using the draw function, but the lines aren't aligned properly.

[Chazrox]

@treynterrio Did you already have a LAF going for column background? If you didnt, you will have to draw it again yourself because now you're taking over the look and feel of that section.

start with :

g.drawRect(obj.area); 

// or
g.drawRoundedRectangle( obj.area, 6, 1.0);

//etc.
