No, there are no changes required in SC.

In the next version, we have added a simple sample study "UseTool Example: Multiline Text" which shows how this works. It is located in routine scsf_UseToolExampleMultilineText in studies.cpp.

Here is a portion of that code:


  s_UseTool Tool;

  Tool.ChartNumber = sc.ChartNumber;
  int &LineNumber = sc.GetPersistentInt(1);
  if(LineNumber != 0)
    Tool.LineNumber = LineNumber;
  Tool.Region = 0;
  Tool.DrawingType = DRAWING_TEXT;
  Tool.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_OR_ADJUST;
  Tool.Text = "Text Example\nSecond Line\nThird Line\nForth Line";

  Tool.BeginIndex = BarIndex;
  Tool.BeginValue = sc.Close[BarIndex];

  Tool.Color = COLOR_YELLOW;  
  Tool.MultiLineLabel = 1;     
  Tool.FontFace = sc.GetChartTextFontFaceName();
  Tool.FontSize = 14;
  Tool.FontBold = 1;

  sc.UseTool(Tool);
  LineNumber = Tool.LineNumber;

This code will draw four lines of text 20 bars back.
