Word Wrap

[ZuneApps]

How do I make a word wrap that detects when the text would run off the screen, and put an enter?

Here is the formula I have:
[code]if fontsize<18
{
amountofcharactersthatwillfitonthescreen = 18 + (18-fontsize)
}
else
{
amountofcharactersthatwillfitonthescreen = 18 + (fontsize - 18)
}

I don't know if that formula will work, and what the character that represents "
" is. (I know it's not technically a formula).

That doesn't make even the SLIGHTEST amount of sense. Heres something I wrote right here, i haven't compiled it, but it looks gud.

        public static WordWrap(String text, Spritefont font, Rectangle screen)
        {
            //Seperate string to words
            string[] words = text.Split(' ');
            
            //Keep track of how much x space it needs
            int tempX = 0;
            
            //Return string
            string ret = string.Empty;

            //Add first word automatically
            ret += words[0];

            //Go through other words
            for (int i = 1; i < words.Length; i++)
            {
                Vector2D size = font.MeasureString(text);
                if ((size.X + tempX) < Rectangle.Width)
                {
                    ret += " " + words[i];
                    tempX += size.X;
                }
                else
                {
                    //Reset tempX
                    tempX = 0;

                    //Add new line and word
                    ret += "rn" + words[i];
                }
            }
            return ret;
        }

Let me know if it works

Zuneapps...Can you let me know if this helped you.

That looks like it may work. That is very similar to what is in the Book Reader for word wrapping.

What is this? I only have this account. The other account is my brother's. Also, as you can see, my posting has never been disabled, so you should stop spreading rumors.

Actually, it was. I saw it myself. It was probably re-enabled before you logged in.

I didn't want to start anything :P but, yea I saw it aswell.

Now that thats out of the way - ZuneApps, did the word wrap work?

[Zune Virus]

First of all, why was his posting abilities disabled? Second, he merged with me. Third, I have the program on my flash drive, and it's been having some problems, so I can't test it until it gets fixed.

Con-grad-ya-****ing-lations. This thread has useful code and it is now in the flame board because of you. Im gonanr epost it, DO NOT TOUCH THE THHREAD I AM MAKING FOR IT>

[catnat109]

Seems like all threads created by zuneapps end up in the flameboard... Weird.

nice bump.

Now go die

[Tobososlow]

Agreed.

[catnat109]

Who cares if I bump it's on the flame board.

[Tobososlow]

It's been over a month it's just kind of pointless.

[catnat109]

So who cares...

[Nurta]

I do, tobo does, I think a lot of people do

[Locke]

I don't care usually-I just did myself in fact-but the mere fact that it's ZuneApps says that it probably shouldn't be brought back for anything but historical record.
