Line Wrap for AutoIt Edit Control (_EditCtrl_ToggleLineWrap)

[iCode 8]

the concept comes from someone else here, though i forget who (if you, let me know and i'll be glad to give credit)
 
rather than toggling line wrapping on and off in an AutoIt multi-line edit control, which apparently is not doable, this function destroys and recreates the control, preserving various aspects of the original
 
it works by creating the new control with or without a horizontal scroll bar ($WS_HSCROLL)
 
i'm no pro, so critique is welcome

One thing I included which you might want to consider is to allow for some text being selected, and setting where the cursor is when the user switches wrapping.

$range = _GUICtrlEdit_GetSel($iCtrlID)
;delete the edit
 
;create the new edit
_GUICtrlEdit_SetSel($iCtrlID, $range[0], $range[1])

was it you who i probably scarfed this idea from?

[martin 72]

I don't think so because the script here I used the same idea I have never published.
