Getting a VisText to display itself.
Q. We've got a simple application that has a dialog brought up by MSG_GEN_INTERACTION_INITIATE. In that dialog are a GenView and two triggers. In the GenView are a VisContent and a VisText under that. The problem? Even though apparently the text gets added to the VisText object's VTI_text chunk, the text object never displays it. A. VisText doesn't do any geometry handling, so you have to do it yourself. (Presumably there's a good reason you are not using a GenText.) The content and text object will have zero bounds, since nothing has been done. If the content's bounds are zero, nothing will get drawn. You should at least stuff bounds for the text object, the content will follow suit.
