Problem with alignment in SAY command
Posted: Fri Mar 01, 2024 09:19 AM
Hello,

I use this line:
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
EDEFINE SAY PROMPT PAR->STOMSHAYS ID 500 OF ParDlg PICTURE "@X"
but I want it to be aligned to the right. In my resources this field is defined as right text, but my text is shown aligned to the left.

How can I align the text in the SAY command to the right?

Thank you.

Regards,

Michel D.

ADD SS_RIGHT style to your STATIC resource.

Enrico,

Thanks a lot for your message.

Is it possible to send a small example of how to do that?

Thanks.

João, please avoid to always resubmit a slightly changed version of my (and others) samples, thank you.

My samples are always designed to clearly demonstrate how to solve a specific problem and all you add is only confusion.

Good afternoon Enrico. I don't know where there is confusion in the second example I sent. But if I offended you, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were so sensitive.

Buenas tardes Enrico. No sé dónde hay confusión en el segundo ejemplo que envié. Pero si te ofendí, lo siento. No sabía que eras tan sensible.

Gracias, thanks.

Regards, saludos.

It is not matter of sensitivity. You added things (like gradient) that has nothing to do with the problem it solves. If you want to show your personal samples you are very welcome. But please, leave samples of others unchanged.

Calm down Enrico. When you are the OWNER of the forum, you can tell me what I can or cannot do. I made a model honoring you, I don't know why you were so sensitive, and I didn't even use offensive colors.

Tranquilo Enrique. Cuando seas PROPIETARIO del foro podrás decirme qué puedo o no hacer. Hice un modelo en honor a ti, no sé por qué eras tan sensible y ni siquiera usé colores ofensivos.

Gracias, thanks.

Regards, saludos.

I am completely calm, you can be sure of that. I only want that my work is left unchanged. Am I asking too much?

Enrico, you're nervous for nothing. Your work is excellent. I only made a second sample using WORKSHOP.exe, at no point did the example offend you, I can modify it by adding GETS and BUTTONS and even so, the example remains yours. There is nothing in the program that offends you.

Enrico, estás nervioso por nada. Tu trabajo es excelente. Solo hice una segunda muestra usando WORKSHOP.exe, en ningún momento te ofendió el ejemplo, puedo modificarlo agregando GETS y BUTTONS y aun así el ejemplo sigue siendo tuyo. No hay nada en el programa que te ofenda.

Gracias, thanks.

I'm not nervous at all. If you can't accept the simple fact that one would want his/her own samples unchanged then please go on and do what you want. I stop responding. Thank you.

Desculpas, sorry.

Gracias, Thanks.

Dear Joao,
I think complete samples are always of great help.
I also think it's good when design is incorporated into the examples, so you can see what all is possible.

Just for the solution, you can also directly click on it in the resource editor, which I think is even easier when someone uses resources.



Joao, I often still think about the joint work on the appointment calendar, which is purely file-based, so completely without a database.
Do you also remember? It is my only GitHub project.
The design has been adapted by you.
Now, I will switch to webview—I'm referring to the part where you drag emails and document files onto the calendar. With webview, it's very easy to handle individual email files.
Simply drag the email from MS Outlook and drop it.
Best regards,
Otto
