Hi,
I have a static control, the text for it is simply a letter for example "A".
The static control size is 100 by 100.
The static has the colour white for the text and blue for the background.
The font size is 60.
Now, if I use
CONTROL w1,@STATIC,"A",10,10,100,100,@CTEDITLEFT, 1 - the text is on the very left hand side.
if I use:
CONTROL w1,@STATIC," A",10,10,100,100,@CTEDITLEFT, 1 - (with a space) - the "A" is too far over to the right.
Is there a way I can create a static control and specify the offset of the letter "A" - moving it to the right to a position that looks good to me, rather than just using @cteditleft/right/centre?
I don't want to draw a rectangle and use the print command.
DEF w1 as WINDOW
int blue = rgb(0,148,196)
int white = rgb(255,255,255)
OPENWINDOW w1,0,0,350,350,@MINBOX|@MAXBOX|@SIZE,0,"",&main
CONTROL w1,@STATIC,"A",10,10,100,100,@CTEDITLEFT, 1
SETCONTROLCOLOR w1, 1,white,blue
SETFONT w1,"Arial",60,700,0,1
WAITUNTIL w1 = 0
END
SUB main
IF @CLASS = @IDCLOSEWINDOW
CLOSEWINDOW w1
ENDIF
RETURN
ENDSUB
Thanks,
Andy.
you'll have to subclass the control and draw it yourself in response to the
@IDPAINT message
Let me know if you need me to to write the code for you
