Hi,

  1. use IupText, don't think the highlight would be possible
  2. in the valuechanged_cb change the VISIBLECOLUMNS and VISIBLELINES
attributes so they match the text
  3. use IupImage and IupLabel
  4. not simple

 The canvas can be a IupCbox inside a IupBackground box or inside a
IupFrame, but there is no support for dragging a control around. But it is
possible by creating a custom box that has a handler that can be moved
around and has some highlight feedback. For instance, a IupCanvas, inside a
IupVbox where you add another element. Processing mouse callbacks on the
IupCanvas is possible to move the box around.

Best,
Scuri
