Message/MessageModal Text Formatting

Post by D_S » Tue Nov 18, 2008 11:29 pm

It would be nice if when formatting a message/messagemodal there was a way to auto center the text on a line that would adjust automatically within the boundaries of the message if I were to change the width.

I find myself readjusting the width at times and then having to go back and change the number of spaces the line starts with to give the apperance of center.

If there already is simpler/better way to do this let me know.

Code: Select all

LET>MSG_HEIGHT=300
LET>MSG_WIDTH=400

Messagemodal>                   Backup Finished%CRLF%%CRLF%Number of files to be backed up=%FILES1%%CRLF%%CRLF%Number of files copied to %STICK%\%NOW%=%FILES2%%CRLF%%CRLF%Number of files copied to %CD%\%NOW%=%FILES3%

You can create your own custom dialog instead.

Yes, I agree and I have but when using a simple message box it would be nice for the text to self adjust within the bounds of the box when the text is variable.
