<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>I've been experimenting with xcb and xcb_image_text_8 lately, but found the 255 character limit disturbing. Is there any other way, through an extension maybe, of sending bigger string datatypes to XCB? I'm working on a textbox component for a text editor, but I'm having to wrap strings manually, a then manipulating x/y as necessary with multiple calls to xcb_image_text_8.</div> <div> </div> <div>Depending on the screensize, and the amount of text, I think it would be more efficient to just render all the text myself and send a pixmap representing all text that has to be rendered inside the textbox.</div> <div> </div> <div class="signature">Vincent Ellis<br/> C/C++ Technician<br/> vincent@linuxmail.org<br/> El Paso, TX</div></div></body></html>
