      Hi,
      I was wondering if I can draw text similar to the text in "Help" section of Cinema 4D?
      I want to draw only the text similar to that of the help section. I tried with GeUserArea and GeClipMap. But I couldn't make the text look similar or function similar to that of help section (in terms of Font, font size and other formattings). Is there a way to achieve this 😇 ?

      Thanks In Advance.

        Hello,

        the "Help" does not use a GeUserArea.

        The "Help" is displayed using the HtmlViewerCustomGui GUI element. This GUI element encapsulates the local browser to display a HTML document.

        If you want to create the same user experience, you can simply use that GUI element to load a custom HTML document that presents your information.

        • HtmlViewerCustomGui (C++)
        • HtmlViewerCustomGui (Python)
        • Custom GUI Elements

        As always you can use the Q&A Functionality to mark a thread as a question.

        best wishes,
        Sebastian
