The String object is quite simply a method of drawing text onto the screen. In comparison to Static Text, the String object is not treated as a window control.
Properties
A single or series of paragraphs can be specified in the editor, and can be changed later. However, the alterable string can be used as actions to change the text during runtime.
Anti-Aliasing
In the Windows runtime, the anti-aliasing option in the Display properties determines smooth fonts. If this option is not selected, then it will be rendered using Windows' anti-aliasing technology. Note that this is ignored if the font is not a true type font, is too small, is too big or the system is in 256 colour mode.
The Help documentation advises that Windows' anti-aliasing is usually better, and that Fusion is adapted to use bitmaps, hence, it is recommended to leave the Anti-aliasing option unchecked.
The help documentation for this object is self-explanatory. Here's the commonly used functions:
Actions
- Display Text - Shows the text in a certain position at a fixed or relative position to another object.
- Erase Text - Deletes the contents of the string.
- Flash Text - Changes the visibility of the text at a fixed interval.
- Set Paragraph - Changes which paragraph is displayed in the String object.
- Alterable String - Show the changeable string.
- Change Alterable String - Edit the changeable string. This changes whatever is currently displayed.
