Justify StringGadget and Dialog Library

Hello,
Currently I can force the justification when creating a StringGadget with ES_LEFT # / # ES_CENTER / # ES_RIGHT.
But when creating a GUI with the Dialog library, these flags are not allowed and causes a compiler error.
Would it be possible to integrate a # PB_Text_Left | Center | Right crossplatform, for StringGagdet like TextGadget?
Thanks,
Bye

Those flags already work for Windows apps (unofficially), so perhaps it is a difficult thing on one of the other OS. Certainly would be a welcome enhancement for regular forms, never mind the new dialog.

For now, you can declare these constants as "Runtime" and then use it in the XML flags.

Arf, I did not understand all the subtleties of Runtime
.

in your code before loading the XML dialog:
the you can use it in the XML.

If it's like this, it doesn't works.
Code: Select all
#Xml = 0
#Dialog = 0
Runtime #ES_CENTER
If LoadXML(#Xml, "Data/test.xml") And XMLStatus(#Xml) = #PB_XML_Success
CreateDialog(#Dialog)
If OpenXMLDialog(#Dialog, #Xml, "Test")
Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
Else
Debug "Dialog creation error: " + DialogError(#Dialog)
EndIf
Else
Debug "XML error on line " + XMLErrorLine(#Xml) + ": " + XMLError(#Xml)
EndIf
xml
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!-- Window -->
<window flags="#PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget" id="0" minheight="auto" minwidth="auto" name="Test" text="Test">
<hbox>
<string name="name" text="string" flags="#ES_CENTER"/>
</hbox>
</window>

I agree, having the ability to right justify the text in a StringGadget would be very useful.
Also, if a TextGadget has an attribute of "Single Line", the text in the TextGadget should be centered vertically.
