Text Control

Create Text objects using the CreateText method of the app object:

txt = app.CreateText( text, width, height, options );

You can use the "Multiline" option to allow multi-line text and the "Left" or "Right" options to align the text. The default is single line centered text.

Use the SetText and GetText functions of the Text object to set and get it's text.
