GEF needs to support editing of word-wrapped strings using CellEditors. We tried using TextCellEditor with MULTI | WRAP style bits. It is problematic due to its limitations on win32. Our workaround is to use StyledText. Therefore, we need a StyledTextCellEditor. We can provide the test case and implementation if needed.
Could you summarize the problem with Text using MULTI | WRAP on win32, or point to an existing PR for the problem? If going with StyledText is the only answer, then having you contribute a StyledTextCellEditor would be good.
We are trying to grow a Text as you type into it. The use case is editing a "sticky" note. The sticky note has a fixed width determined by the user, and its height is automatically adjusted to fit the string. The problem with Text is that it prohibits text entry once the text completely occupies the widget. We tried enabling scrollbars, but the behavior was still not correct, and the scrollbars would always be disabled so they were just ugly.
The operating system must be doing something similar somewhere. Can you point to a place? Thanks.
For example, on the windows desktop, when you edit the filename for a file. Whatever control is used there, it will grow when the text flows over to a new line. Text(MULTI | WRAP) doesn't do that because it prevents the user from typing the overflowed character.
Try the latest. The Windows feature in the native widget should be worked around.
