Create an blank sprite to cover a TextMesh ?

[Docteur Cox]

Hello there !

I'm working on something that uses UITable and for some reasons (mostly localization-related stuff) I CAN'T use UILabels. Believe me, I'd prefer to use them, that'd make my life a lot easier, but that's just not possible with that product.

So instead, I've got to work with text meshes. My question is : Is it possible to create an empty sprite that would cover my TextMesh so that UITable works with them ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

You'd have to write your own code logic that would figure out the text meshes dimensions and resize an invisible sprite somehow.

Thanks for your answer. Just another question : how to instantiate that blank sprite on the fly ? Will a UISlicedSprite work even without an atlas ?

UISprite sp = NGUITools.AddWidget<UISprite>();

No, it won't work without an atlas. Sprites need an atlas to work with. If you don't have an atlas, use a UITexture instead.
