problem with multiline button

[splakidas]

this works ok i get a button with 3 lines

Code Select Expand


CONTROL hbot,@SYSBUTTON,"line1\nline2\nline3",0,128,64,64,0x50002000,5


this gives me one line  why ?

Code Select Expand


myline[1]="line1\nline2\nline3"
CONTROL hbot,@SYSBUTTON,myline[1],0,128,64,64,0x50002000,5

i forgot to say that the problem is when i use

Code Select Expand


myline[1]="line1\nline2\nline3


this one works

Code Select Expand


myline="line1\nline2\nline3"


the problem is whith the array !!!!!!!!!!!

To be more specific: I try to read the names for the buttons from a config file, and i want to have 3line buttons

If using a dialog use the setcontroltext in @IDINITDIALOG to set the button text or if a window use setcontroltext in @IDCREATE

Still working here ...

Code Select Expand


CONST BUTTON_1 = 1
string myline[2]
myline[1]="line1\nline2\nline3"
DIALOG d1
CREATEDIALOG d1,0,0,300,202,0x80C80080,0,"Caption",&d1_handler

CONTROL d1,@SYSBUTTON,myline[1],65,49,70,64,0x50002000,BUTTON_1

domodal d1
end

SUB d1_handler
SELECT @MESSAGE
CASE @IDINITDIALOG
CENTERWINDOW d1
/* Initialize any controls here */
CASE @IDCLOSEWINDOW
CLOSEDIALOG d1,@IDOK
CASE @IDCONTROL
SELECT @CONTROLID
CASE BUTTON_1
IF @NOTIFYCODE = 0
/*button clicked*/
            CLOSEDIALOG d1
ENDIF
ENDSELECT
ENDSELECT
RETURN
ENDSUB

GJ your code works but try to READ the text for your button from a text file ie:

Code Select Expand

CONST BUTTON_1 = 1
string myline[2]
rem myline[1]="line1\nline2\nline3"
DIALOG d1
file myfile

OPENFILE(myfile,"c://testfile.txt","r")
read (myfile,myline[1])
closefile myfile


CREATEDIALOG d1,0,0,300,202,0x80C80080,0,"Caption",&d1_handler

CONTROL d1,@SYSBUTTON,myline[1],65,49,70,64,0x50002000,BUTTON_1

domodal d1
end

SUB d1_handler
SELECT @MESSAGE
CASE @IDINITDIALOG
CENTERWINDOW d1
/* Initialize any controls here */
CASE @IDCLOSEWINDOW
CLOSEDIALOG d1,@IDOK
CASE @IDCONTROL
SELECT @CONTROLID
CASE BUTTON_1
IF @NOTIFYCODE = 0
/*button clicked*/
            CLOSEDIALOG d1
ENDIF
ENDSELECT
ENDSELECT
RETURN
ENDSUB

Thats same code as above but you have to create a file and read in the text for the button.

A newline character \n is a line terminator in an ASCII file.  So your READ statement will only read in the first line.

Use a binary file to store the information, or store some other character in place of the newline in the ASCII file and parse the line when you read it back.
