TGet: RIGHT clause problem
Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2020 03:34 PM
Please look at this sample, the edit string is not correctly right aligned using RIGHT clause. Any workaround?

Code (fw): Select all Collapse
#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL oDlg

    LOCAL cVar := SPACE( 30 )

    DEFINE DIALOG oDlg

    @ 1, 1 GET cVar RIGHT

    @ 3, 1 BUTTON "Close";
           ACTION oDlg:End()

    ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg

    RETURN NIL

Hi Enrico
for me it's ok
try

Code (fw): Select all Collapse
#include "Fivewin.ch"


FUNCTION MAIN()

    LOCAL oDlg
    LOCAL oFont1
    LOCAL oFont2

    LOCAL cVar := "FIVEWIN"
    
    DEFINE FONT oFont1 NAME "COURIER NEW" SIZE 0, -11 // NOT PROP.
    DEFINE FONT oFont2 NAME "TAHOMA"      SIZE 0, -10 // PROP

    DEFINE DIALOG oDlg

    @ 1, 1 GET cVar RIGHT FONT  oFont1
    @ 2, 1 GET cVar RIGHT FONT  oFont2

    @ 3, 1 BUTTON "Close";
           ACTION oDlg:End()

    ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg
    
    RELEASE FONT oFont1
    RELEASE FONT oFont2

    RETURN NIL


Bye

Thank you, but your sample doesn't work right here (latest FWH version).

Please, try to write something in the RIGHT aligned GET and you'll see the problem.

Test Program:
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
#include "Fivewin.ch"

function main()

   local oDlg, oFont

   local cVar1 := PAD( "FiveTech Soft, Spain", 20 )
   local cVar2 := PAD( "Hello World",          20 )

   SetGetColorFocus()

   DEFINE FONT oFont NAME "Courier New" SIZE 0,-20

   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg SIZE 450,150 PIXEL TRUEPIXEL FONT oFont TITLE FWVERSION

   @ 20, 20 GET cVar1 SIZE 410,26 PIXEL OF oDlg RIGHT
   @ 50, 20 GET cVar2 SIZE 410,26 PIXEL OF oDlg RIGHT

   @ 90, 20 BUTTON "Close" SIZE 100,40 PIXEL OF oDlg ACTION oDlg:End()

   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED

   RELEASE FONT oFont

return nil




The text (including the spaces) is right-aligned in the Gets.
This is the behaviour in all previous versions of FWH.

Sorry, I thought that RIGHT worked like ES_RIGHT, but it's not.

Both these Gets have ES_RIGHT style and this is how Windows displays text with trailing spaces with this style. Does not "trim" the string and then right-align the trimmed string.

However, we can think of an enhancement by trimming the string and right-align when the Get does not have focus. Just thinking ...

Whether Windows does it or not, we can still do it if we like.

Ok, all is clear now. I missed the trailing spaces, sorry. :-)

To get the effect what we like, ignoring the trailing spaces, please try EDIT control instead of GET control.

Please try this sample:
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
#include "Fivewin.ch"

function Main()

   local oDlg, oFont, oGet1, oGet2

   local cVar1 := PAD( "123",   10 )
   local cVar2 := PAD( "12345", 15 )

   DEFINE FONT oFont NAME "Courier New" SIZE 0,-20

   DEFINE DIALOG oDlg SIZE 450,150 PIXEL TRUEPIXEL FONT oFont TITLE FWVERSION

   @ 20, 20 EDIT oGet1 VAR cVar1 SIZE 410,26 PIXEL OF oDlg RIGHT LIMITTEXT
   oGet1:bGotFocus  := { || oGet1:SetColor( CLR_BLACK, RGB( 235, 235, 145 ) ) }
   oGet1:bLostFocus := { || oGet1:SetColor( CLR_BLACK, CLR_WHITE ) }

   @ 50, 20 EDIT oGet2 VAR cVar2 SIZE 410,26 PIXEL OF oDlg RIGHT LIMITTEXT
   oGet2:bGotFocus  := { || oGet2:SetColor( CLR_BLACK, RGB( 235, 235, 145 ) ) }
   oGet2:bLostFocus := { || oGet2:SetColor( CLR_BLACK, CLR_WHITE ) }

   @ 90, 20 BUTTON "Close" SIZE 100,40 PIXEL OF oDlg ACTION oDlg:End()

   ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED
   RELEASE FONT oFont

   cVar1 := PAD( cVar1, 10 )
   cVar2 := PAD( cVar2, 15 )

return nil

hi Mr. Rao
But with EDIT does not work up / down arrow to leave control only TAB or RETURN.
