StringGadget text orientation

[CSAUER]

I would like to see flags for left (=default), center and right orientation inside StringGadgets. This would be very useful especially if it would be available on all platforms.

Actually it's already in there for Windows, just name of the constant doesn't begin with "#PB_".

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0,0,0,320,240,"void",#PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
StringGadget(0,5,5,200,20,"untitled1",#ES_LEFT)
StringGadget(1,5,30,200,20,"untitled2",#ES_CENTER)
StringGadget(2,5,55,200,20,"untitled3",#ES_RIGHT)

While WaitWindowEvent() ! #PB_Event_CloseWindow : Wend

Actually I just use the same flags for the text gadget and that works.

Code: Select all

StringGadget(#String_msrv, 456, 6, 138, 18, "SERVER ID", #PB_Text_Center)

I always thought it was an undocumented feature...

Code: Select all

Actually I just use the same flags for the text gadget and that works.

It's because these flags are interpreted as API constants.

The enumeration is the same:

Code: Select all

#ES_CENTER = #PB_Text_Center
#ES_RIGHT = #PB_Text_Right

As Rook Zimbabwe, I always thought it was an undocumented feature...

But, it would be great if PureBasic takes an official position: #ES_RIGHT and #ES_CENTER for Windows (and what for Linux?).

Thanks, RSBasic.
