Text Box

The text box is used for showing a large multipage piece of text in XBMC. You can choose the position, size, and look of the text.

Example

<xml> <control type="textbox" id="2">

     <description>My first text box control</description>
     <posx>80</posx>
     <posy>60</posy>
     <width>250</width>
     <height>200</height>
     <visible>true</visible>
     <colordiffuse>FFFFFFFF</colordiffuse>
     font13
     <textcolor>FFFFFFFF</textcolor>
     <pulseonselect></pulseonselect>
     <pagecontrol>13</pagecontrol>

</control> </xml>

Available Tags

In addition to the Default Control Tags the following tags are available. Note that each tag is lower case only. This is important, as xml tags are case-sensitive.

textcolor	Color used for displaying the text. In AARRGGBB hex format, or a name from the colour theme.
shadowcolor	Specifies the color of the drop shadow on the text. In AARRGGBB format, or a name from the colour theme.
pagecontrol	Specifies the <id> of the page control used to control this textbox. The page control can either be a Spin Control or a Scroll Bar Control.
