Enabling word-wrap in a texteditor (LBB)

by Richard Russell, February 2016

The Liberty BASIC texteditor control does not support word-wrap at all, but in LB Booster word-wrapping may be enabled using stylebits:

  texteditor #w.te, 10, 10, 280, 280
  stylebits #w.te, 0, _ES_AUTOHSCROLL or _WS_HSCROLL, 0, 0
  open "Wordwrap test" for window as #w
  #w.te "!font Arial 0 28"
  #w.te "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog's tail."
