Centering a Label


Recommended Posts

Hello, I am currently using this code: 

Func StatusIndicator($sStatus, $sSize = 8.5, $hParent = 0) ; Function for my program, feel free to use it
    $aDimensions = _StringSize($sStatus, $sSize)
    $hGUI = GUICreate("", 50 + $aDimensions[2], 50 + $aDimensions[3], -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, -1, $hParent)
    GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
    $hLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel($sStatus, (50 + $aDimensions[2]) / 2, (50 + $aDimensions[3]) / 2, $aDimensions[2], $aDimensions[3])
    GUISetState()
    While 1
    WEnd
EndFunc

I cant get $hLabel centered in the GUI, I don't know what's wrong

 

Thanks in advance, TD :)

TheDcoder,

Your maths is wrong - the formula for determining the leftmost pixel of the label should read:

(GUI_Width - Label_Width) / 2

which as you already use the label width to determine the GUI width reduces to:

50 / 2

or a simple:

25

Use a similar formula for the height.
