Text Alignment in BoxDrawText
Keywords: text alignment boxdrawtext
Question:
How do you align text with a edit or select box in winbatch box? I have tried playing with another transparent box to contain the text and spacing the text that way, to no avail. Does any one have something like that?Here is my sample code:
box_count=3
name_list=StrCat("Username",@TAB,"Password",@TAB,"Flags")
for i = 1 to box_count
BoxColor(1,"128,128,128",0)
box_coord=StrCat('"',x+75,",",y-25,",",x+185,",",y+135,'"')
BoxDrawRect(1,%box_coord%, 2)
item=ItemExtract(i,name_list,@TAB)
BoxDrawText(1,%box_coord%,item,@TRUE, 0|1)
sDLLName = StrCat(DirWindows(1), "User32.DLL")
sEntry = StrCat("long:", '"CreateWindowExA"')
sArgs = "long:dwExStyle"
sArgs = StrCat(sArgs, ", lpstr:lpClassName")
sArgs = StrCat(sArgs, ", long:lpWindowName")
sArgs = StrCat(sArgs, ", long:dwStyle")
sArgs = StrCat(sArgs, ", long:x")
sArgs = StrCat(sArgs, ", long:y")
sArgs = StrCat(sArgs, ", long:nWidth")
sArgs = StrCat(sArgs, ", long:nHeight")
sArgs = StrCat(sArgs, ", long:hWndParent")
sArgs = StrCat(sArgs, ", long:hMenu")
sArgs = StrCat(sArgs, ", long:hInstance")
sArgs = StrCat(sArgs, ", long:lParam")
hWndEdit%i% = DLLCall(sDLLName, %sEntry%, %sArgs%)
y=y+50

Answer:
It is much easier to align stuff between boxes 2 thru 8 rather than trying to align stuff between box 1 and other boxes. Mostly Box 1 and the other boxes are not the same "level" while as Boxes 2 thru 8 are, so they are more identical.When I try to run it it fails immediately. Then I tried some fixes, but no go.
Anyway in looking at it my guess is that you are fighting between the 1000x1000 virtual co-ordinates that WinBatch uses and the real screen co-ordinates that CreateWindowA uses.
Basicaly you have to scale one to the other depending on screen resolution. Use WinMetrics 0 and 1 to get screen resolution.
Map one to the other.
real to virtual:
virtualx=realx*1000/WinMetrics(0) virtualy=realy*1000/WinMetrics(1)
virtual to real:
realx=virtualx*WinMetrics(0)/1000 realy=virtualy*WinMetrics(0)/1000Also watch out for how the points are defined. In WinBatch the co-ordinates are usually:
upper-left-x upper-left-y lower-right-x lowerright=yHowever in Create Window it is more like:
upper-left-x upperleft-y x-width y-heightSo besides converting real to virtual, you also have to worry about the meaning of each co-ordinate.
