Wrapping Text in Custom GUI Edit Field

Hi,

I've been developing some custom GUIs, I'd like to be able to have an edit field on my GUI for an end user to type in answers to questions. Since some of the answers could be quite long I'd like their text to 'wrap' or scroll down through the edit field as they type, rather than keep scrolling to the right.

I've tried using the wordwrap attribute on the edit field (with a value of 1) but it seems to have no effect. I've attached a demo model to illustrate.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,

WordwrapGUIModel.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.0.9

You can try changing the edit text window type to 8 and then adding these nodes (optional indent and visual flag and values)
