d_textbox_proc(3alleg4)

💖 d_textbox_proc 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the d_textbox_proc page from the Allegro manual (that's section 3alleg4, iykyk) 🎀 — and yes it's the Allegro game programming library, the whole vibe. Let's get into it, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

d_textbox_proc — a dialog procedure that implements a text box object 💅. Straight from the Allegro game programming library, periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

int d_textbox_proc(int msg, DIALOG *d, int c);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So this right here is a text box object, and honestly? Iconic. Here's the tea ☕:

• The dp field points to the text that's gonna be displayed in the box. That's the whole main character right there.
• If the text is long, a vertical scrollbar shows up on the right hand side of the object, and you can use it to scroll through the text. Very demure, very mindful scrolling behavior 🫶.
• By default the text gets printed with word wrapping. But — plot twist — if the D_SELECTED flag is set, the text gets printed with character wrapping instead. Two different wrapping vibes, pick your fighter 💀.
• The d1 field is used internally to store the number of lines of text. Not your business, it's her business 🙈.
• The d2 field is used to store how far it has scrolled through the text. Also internal. Also not your business.

lowkey reminder: d1 and d2 are internal bookkeeping fields here — the manpage says so, so don't go messing with them like they're yours, bestie 😭
