Hello Purebasic Team,
Is it possible to Add #PB_Text_Center property in Form Designer for StringGadGet ?
TIA
Arnaud

No, because that Gadget doesn't officially support it. Look in the manual.

Not "Officially supported" but Purebasic supports it.
The manual doesn't mention this feature (may be the manual is not comprehensive)
Try this :
Code: Select all
StringGadget(#gadget, 10,10, 200, 20,"test", #PB_Text_Center)

It's just luck that it is working. Try it on OS X and Linux and it will not work.

No, it works only because #PB_TextRight and #ES_RIGHT have by chance the same value on windows

As it's not supported I can't add it sorry!

I think, you can add some default API constants OS dependent!
For example #ES_RIGHT for stringgadget
Because the code is generated always new, I hold this even for necessary.

No, the form designer generates cross platform code only.

Why not add simple a numeric field for flags?
Generates: #PB_Bla | numericvalue
For all gadgets, that support flags.

A big +1 for an empty field for custom flags, both for windows and gadgets. It won't stop cross-platform development, because the coder can decide whether to use it or not, and/or the designer could just ignore it when generating for Linux/Mac. The old Visual Designer supported such a field, IIRC. It'd be easy enough for you to add, too.

+1 for an empty field whose text is added to flags.
With a text field you could also add more than one flag, e.g. : "#PB_....|#WS_...."

+1 on allowing user specified values and/or constants.
There are windows-only functions, so the argument of "windows only constants" fails; as pb does have windows specific functions...
