The text box is used for showing a large multipage piece of text in XBMC. You can choose the position, size, and look of the text.
Example
<control type="textbox" id="2"> <description>My first text box control</description> <posx>80</posx> <posy>60</posy> <width>250</width> <height>200</height> <visible>true</visible> <colordiffuse>FFFFFFFF</colordiffuse> <font>font13</font> <textcolor>FFFFFFFF</textcolor> <pulseonselect></pulseonselect> <pagecontrol>13</pagecontrol> <autoscroll delay="3000" time="1000" repeat="10000">!Control.HasFocus(13)</autoscroll> <label>Text to display goes here [CR] next line...</label> </control>
Available Tags
In addition to the Default Control Tags the following tags are available. Note that each tag is lower case only. This is important, as xml tags are case-sensitive.
height | <height>auto</height> is supported in textbox controls |
font | Font used for the items first label. From fonts.xml. |
textcolor | Color used for displaying the text. In AARRGGBB hex format, or a name from the colour theme. |
shadowcolor | Specifies the color of the drop shadow on the text. In AARRGGBB format, or a name from the colour theme. |
pagecontrol | Specifies the <id> of the page control used to control this textbox. The page control can either be a Spin Control or a Scroll Bar Control. |
autoscroll | Specifies the timing and conditions of any autoscrolling this textbox should have. Times are in milliseconds. The content is delayed for the given delay, then scrolls at a rate of one line per time interval until the end. If the repeat tag is present, it then delays for the repeat time, fades out over 1 second, and repeats. It does not wrap or reset to the top at the end of the scroll. You can use any bool condition to specify when autoscrolling should be allowed. |
