Working with text and text boxes Options

[Draze]

Hey guys, just discovered this forum and think its really cool. Then I started working again and found a problem and decided to ask it here Just some background on where I'm coming from: I am a college student currently learning C++ and I would love to continue on to create games at a more serious level. However I don't have much coding experience so I am pretty new at this.

Ok here's the problem. I've been messing around with the text box and the coordinates of where it goes but I can't seem to find where to make the text inside the text box match the coordinates I set for the text box. Is there any way to do this?

EDIT: Since I'm asking... is there any way to make the text only show... say two lines at a time? instead of all four? I'd like a thinner text box but it was cutting off the text. (This may even work with the fix that i need in the first place )



Thanks!

(Also, I don't know if I am allowed to ask this here but I thought I may as well instead of taking up more space on the forums I see cool stuff in the gallery, can we use that in games we plan on marketing? Or can they just be used for fun?)

Thanks so much I really appreciate it!

EDIT: Hey is there anyway to Center the text? For example, my text box is very long and I don't want it to be all on one side like it is now. Thanks

EDIT2: Man I'm going to have so much trouble being good XD. Ok, is it possible that a picture can show up on top of the textbox?
