DCL Box Centre Text

[Happy Hobbit]

I'm trying out DCL for the first time.

Does anyone know how to centre the text marked with a red ellipse?

 

 

Number 001 : dialog { 
          label = "Select Items";
 : column {
    : boxed_row {   
      : boxed_column {     
        label = "Entity";
              : button {
               key = "1";
	  width = 18.0;           // Set your width here
	  fixed_width = true;     // Set it as fixed width
	  alignment = centered;   // Center the list
                label = "Pick Entity:";
                is_default = false;
              }
              : button {
               key = "2";
	  width = 18.0;           // Set your width here
	  fixed_width = true;     // Set it as fixed width
	  alignment = centered;   // Center the list
                label = "Attributes";
                is_default = false;
              }               
      }
      : boxed_column {
        label = "Layer";
              : button {
               key = "51";
	  width = 18.0;           // Set your width here
	  fixed_width = true;     // Set it as fixed width
	  alignment = centered;   // Center the list
                label = "Pick Layer";
                is_default = false;
              }
              : button {               
               key = "52";
	  width = 18.0;           // Set your width here
	  fixed_width = true;     // Set it as fixed width
	  alignment = centered;   // Center the list
                label = "Attributes";
                is_default = false;
              }                        
      }
    }
            : boxed_row { 
              : button {
               key = "cancel";
	  width = 12.0;           // Set your width here
	  fixed_width = true;     // Set it as fixed width
	  alignment = centered;   // Center the list
                label = "Cancel";
                is_default = true;
                is_cancel = true;
              }
              }
  }
}

Not possible using standard DCL.

Oh.

 

Ta Lee. No wonder my fiddling with it didn't work

Only thing possible would be :

 

 

 

 

 

 

But that isn't exactly what you want

That's exactly what I would like.

 

How do you code that from the code above Rix ?

It's a quick and dirty fix but if it works 4 U...

Hi,

 

Add equal number of empty spaces before and after the label name to make it looks identical.

Thanks you Rix & Tharwat, both methods work well. I've decided to use Rix method as it seems more precise.

You're welcome. I believe there are 3rd party apps to give you more control on dcl but they are not for free and ofcourse more complicated. Just for fun I once (ok twice) tried a different approach

But that's maybe a little to extreme for your needs.

Thanks Rix but I'm only just getting the feel of DCL at the moment & working out how they pass data back to the lisp
