Wrapped text with Buttons inserted

Hi,
I would like to setup a Panel of free flow wrapped text and buttons inserted among texts.  Should I use text area to start up with?
Regards,
Brendan

Hi Brendan,
	Thanks for asking.  We have released the first version of and are working on the next version of a management studio for our database products.  It includes a free-form SQL editor, which is where we're starting to use a TextPane in order to do syntax coloring.
	Sounds like a great product you're working on also.

Alright!  Just wondering what sort of application you're doing!  I'm writing an cloud based collaborative task management system for organizations.

I don’t think anything much has been done to TextPane recently, so likely the issues you found will still be there.  But, we will try to fix them if you run into specific problems.  We are starting to use it in our application too, so there is even more incentive to make it work correctly.  It would help if you could write up JIRA issues for things you find… ~Roger Whitcomb From: Brendan cheng [mailto:ccp999@hotmail.com]

Thanks Roger!

 

I tried TextPane few months ago and I found some issues, but forgot
details now.  I wonder if there is still any known issues.

Hi Bendan,
   A TextArea can only hold text. If you want mixed text and components such as Buttons then you will need to use a TextPane instead. This allows what you're asking for.  Unfortunately there isn't a lot of doc on how to do this. But there is a pretty good TextPane demo in the source. 

HTH,
