Introduction :
Label is genarally we used to display custom static messages to any application. Here we will see how can we display multiline message label to the screen.
Description : Along with single line label, sometimes the label contents become too long which leads to show them in multiline. Corona sdk provides a simple trick to do that using newText function. We just need to assign height and width of the label.
CODE BLOCK :
main.lua -- Define multiline message label local multilineMsgLabel = display.newText( "This is a multiline label message. To make a multiline label we just need to assign height and width of the label.", 15, 100, 300, 400, native.systemFont, 40 ) multilineMsgLabel:setTextColor( 0, 0, 255 )
On above code block nyou can see that I have assign long message the label. Than the nex two parameters(15 and 100) describes the left and top position respectively.
Than nex two parameters ( 300 and 400 ) mentioned width and height of the label which exactly makes the label multiline.
Summary : So now we know how to easily we can make a multiline labels on our crossplatform application using corona sdk and its library.
