Hello!

I am making an information page in Gecko where application information is shown, but there is the problem pictured below that has been giving me headaches. What should I do?

I try to keep the DLLs to a minimum, especially since I can easily do this one myself.

I just don't think it's the optimal solution. More like something that will be there while I find better.

If only I could do a multiline drawstring...

Have you looked at DrawString2 in both ImageLib and ImageLibEx. It wraps text to fit within a given rectangle.

Form.DrawString and Form.FDrawString also support multiline strings:

B4X:

Sub Globals
    'Declare the global variables here.

End Sub

Sub App_Start
    Form1.Show
    form1.DrawString("This is a long sentence.", 14, 10, 10, 100, 200, cRed)
End Sub
