(Dialogs) How to create a scrollable text dialog window?

[Undeceived 392]

Hello,

does anyone know how to create a dialog window with scrollable text? I have much text to put in this dialog, but the as the text is not scrollable at the moment, the player can only read the first half of it.

The text windows needs a scrollbar so the player can scroll down and read on.

Can anyone help? Many thanks!

You can always put text in smaller parts. ;)

I dont know if you add dialogs/text lines in triggers or in scripts.

If in script you have something like this for example:

titletext ["Officer: BLABLABLA very long text we dont see all of it on screen.","plain down", 1]
~6
titletext ["Soldier: Yes sir.","plain down", 1]
~6
titletext ["","plain", 1]
~1

You can always add text in smaller parts, something like this:

titletext ["Officer: BLABLABLA smaller part of text, part1.","plain down", 1]
~6
titletext ["Officer: BLABLABLA smaller part of text, part2.","plain down", 1]
~6
titletext ["Soldier: Yes sir.","plain down", 1]
~6
titletext ["","plain", 1]
~1

tom3kb, thanks, but I noticed that my topic title was a bit confusing. :D I'm not talking about dialogs like conversation, but dialogs as a scripted window and button system. :)

In my case the scripts look like this:

UI.hpp

class PERSON_DESCRIPTION_TEXT: RscStructuredText
	{
		idc = 1100;
		text = "";
		x = (0.617349 - 0.030) * safezoneW + safezoneX;
		y = 0.298634 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
		w = 0.123532 * safezoneW;
		h = 0.19052 * safezoneH;
	};

defines.hpp

class RscStructuredText
{
access = ReadAndWrite;
type = CT_STRUCTURED_TEXT;
idc = -1;
style = ST_CENTER + ST_MULTI;
lineSpacing = 1;
w = 0.1;
h = 0.05;
size = 0.02;
colorBackground[] = {0,0,0,0};
colorText[] = {0,0,0,0};
text = "";
font = "Zeppelin33";

class Attributes
{
	font = "Zeppelin33";
	color = "#ffffff";
	shadow = false;
};
};

UIfunctions.sqf (the script which "launches" the text)

((uiNamespace getVariable "myDisplay") displayCtrl 1100) ctrlSetStructuredText parseText format[localize "STR_Description_Kamil"];

And the result is this:

As you can see, the text is cut as it reaches the bottom of the dialog window.

How do I add a scrollbar to this window so that the player can scroll down the text? Do I have to work with RscStructuredText in the UI.hpp at all?
