"scrolling" in lables

[dmnkhnngs]

Hey guys,
i have a new question:

Is it possible to "scroll" in a label?

What I mean:
I have a long text. E.g. a poem.
Now I have a program with a menu where one can choose between poem 1 and poem 2.

when i choose poem1 it disps the poem1. and it is too long for the window. but when i press "up" nothing happens or it closes the text and everything that lasts is "prgmxy Done"

And another question is: Can I break a long text automatically?
So i dont have to make a new "Disp" every 16 letters?

Hope you understand what i mean
Sorry for bad english, its not my native language

Disp can be broken up like Disp "Text here","And more here","But wait..","There's MOOOORE"

However, once you reach a certain point on the screen, it will start scrolling.

Best way to do it would be to set it up to all be store into strings, and use the associated commands to pull the string out and display it.

Kind of depends on your level of understanding with BASIC. We could also set up a loop, and based on what value a variable is, display the 'page' you want displayed.

Have you messed with strings and manipulating them, yet?

@dmnkhnngs: Nope! Item 7 could read something like "Next Page" and jump to a Page 2 having a "Previous Page" as an item 6... Well, you get the idea.

For your other question, Output( will automatically wrap to the next line.

<insert mention of the possibility of a custom string-wrapping algorithm>

No, i havent messed with strings yet :/
And i don't really undestand what you both mean

Here's what I have:

Well, some of those options are going to get cut off, since they are longer than 16 characters, just letting you know. If you want longer options listed, you'll have to create your own menus on the graphscreen, which is far different from what you have worked on so far.

As to your current predicament, you can use Output(1,1," and use it to cut down on a few lines of Disp's. You'll still need the use of Pause :Clrhome at certain points, because it will still cause the screen to shift without being able to scroll up without the breaks.

Strings would definitely be the way to go, in this case, though.

oh man. my english is way to bad to understand it all :/
could you give me an example how it would work ?

[tifreak8x]

Just type out Output(1,1,"Hello, This is a long line of text and I show up on more than one line" just like that, and run that as a program, you will see what I mean.

Yes, thanks. this works.
But. when the text is even longer, so it is longer than the display, and i want to scroll in my text to read it all and i press "up" then the text disappears and all thats left is:

prgmName
Done

:s

[tifreak8x]

Yes, you need to figure out where to end it so it doesn't scroll, then you have to go to the next line in the editor, add Pause :ClrHome, and you can do another Output(1,1," and finish off the text, with another Pause and ClrHome after that.
