How to Center text in Lisp :ed

dtsfan1976 · 发表于 2022-7-6 07:41:46

I would like to find out if I can center text within a dialog edit box.  I am populating this edit box from the result of a :popup_list.  This information will not be edited and for display only.

Here is my code currently.

(write-line ":edit_box {" f)
  (write-line "edit_width = 10;" f)
  (write-line "edit_limit = 9;" f)
  (write-line "key = \"mill_disp\";" f)
(write-line "}" f)

If this is at all possible please help me out.

If is just for display you may try to add spaces in front of the said string; the number of spaces will be correlated with the size of currently shown string. Or use a text tile instead.

By the way, please edit your post and add the required code tags.

Can you give an example of how you would use a text tile for this?

This is what I was thinking about:

copy

(set_tile "mill_disp" (strcat "        " "abc"))(set_tile "mill_disp" (strcat "  "       "dtsfan1976"))

Based on your above example that's still pending code tags.

A quick look at a old help book talks about right justified when edit_width is zero and goes on to talk about left & right justification only no centre option.
