Multiple line PXTextField

    Is it possible to have a text field span multiple lines? I tried using \n but it just ignored it.

    Ideally, I'd like to be able to define an area and then have the text auto-wrap as required.

    Just for the record, I split my string with a delimiter and then iterated through the resulting array drawing text fields.


    NSArray *texts = [myAmalgamatedText componentsSeparatedByString: @"|"];
    int i = 0;
    int LINE_HEIGHT = 35;
    for (NSString* text in texts)
    {
    PXTextField* textField = [PXTextField textFieldWithFont:@"myFont"];
    textField.text = @"0"; textField.x = 40.0f; textField.y = 20+ i*LINE_HEIGHT ;
    [self addChild:textField];
    i++; }

    This allowed me to space the lines as I wanted, but on the downside - I have to manage the length of the lines manually... which isn't a big problem ;)

    Yeah, it's on the todo list, but currently isn't at the highest priority.

    I'm glad you found a solution
