Title: Too long space in text attribute in DCL dialog
Post by: Coder on October 22, 2018, 12:49:22 PM

Hello everyone,

I wonder why there is a long space at the end of the alert message!
Can the width of the dialog be almost at the end of the last word of the message?

Code: [Select]

"testme : dialog { label = \"Test\"; fixed_width = true;
        : text { label = \"This is just an example to show an alert message to users.\";}
  ok_only;}"
Thank you.

I'm no expert, but since you aren't setting an actual width, perhaps you're invoking a default one. So try removing

Code: [Select]

fixed_width = true;

Use
alignment=centered;

Sorry, none of them worked as expected.  :no:

Code: [Select]

testme : dialog { label = "Test";
        : text { label = "This is just an example to show an alert message to users."; alignment = centered;}
  ok_only;}
This worked for me, albeit not exactly what i think you wanted.

That divides the distance on the two sides which is not quite right as long as I have another line of text and they won't look good.

Use the following:

Code: [Select]

test : dialog
{
    label = "Test";
    : text
    {
        width = 45.5;
        value = "This is just an example to show an alert message to users.";
    }
    ok_only;
}
