Hello.
Can I have a text paragraph as STATICTEXT in a NodeData plugin ?
I have tried using \n but it doesn't work.
Thank you.

Hi,
in your resource file you'd use a STRING with CUSTOMGUI MULTISTRING. Additionally add the READONLY flag to mimic the static text behavior.
Like so:
STRING MY_PARAGRAPH { ANIM OFF; CUSTOMGUI MULTISTRING; WORDWRAP; READONLY; }
Inside of the string you can use the pipe symbol ("|") for newline.

Hi all,
Andreas, is still valid the pipe symbol for the newline?
Thanks in advance

Hi Renato,
I'm not aware of any changes on our end. But as you are asking, you are probably having problems with it?

Hi Andreas,
yes, i'm trying to output some lines to:
STRING MY_TEXT_INFO { ANIM OFF; CUSTOMGUI MULTISTRING; WORDWRAP; READONLY; }
adding the Pipe Symbol.. but the output is with pipe instead a newline:
here the example:
Grid Name: density - Grid Class: unknown | Grid Name: temperature - Grid Class: unknown | Grid Name: v - Grid Class: unknown |
would be good to have:
Grid Name: density - Grid Class: unknown
Grid Name: temperature - Grid Class: unknown
Grid Name: v - Grid Class: unknown

If you create the string in your code, you need to use
actual newlines.

Hi Niklas, what do you mean with "actual newline" ?
I tried to construct my string with '\n' without luck.

Thanks all for your time :)

Hi,
just for future readers, as it might not be completely clear: When setting a multi-line string parameter via code, one needs to use newline '\n' to add additional lines. While in the string file it is the pipe symbol '|'.
I will add this information also to one of the code examples.

I was just giving this a try in a c4d_strings.str stringtable. I get the string with the Pipe symbol still in
the text (using GeLoadString in Python), rather than it being replaced by a newline. Does this only work
in C++ or in description/dialog stringtables?
Thanks!

Hi Niklas,
indeed GeLoadString() does not care for line wraps, neither in C++ nor in Python.
A small helper function could look like this:
static String GeLoadStringUpd(Int32 id)
{
Int32 i;
String str = GeLoadString(id);
for (i = str.GetLength() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
if (str[i] == '|')
{
str.Delete(i, 1);
str.Insert(i, GeGetLineEnd());
}
}
return str;
}
