Center the text of a label within a window

[cherdeg]

Hello Alltogether,

maybe I'm too dumb , but I can't get it cracking...never the less it's probably very simple:

I want to align the text of a label centered in a popup-window (no controls, no title bar, etc.). The vertical position will be set manually, but the horizontal position should be centered, because the lenght of the text will vary.

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$InfoValue = "Primary DNS setzen..."

GUICreate("", 350, 200, -1, -1, $WS_Popup, "", "")

GUICtrlCreateLabel($InfoValue, "", "", "", "", $SS_Center, "")

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Sleep(2000)

Thank you very much for a working code example,

Best Regards,

Chris

You were close:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
$InfoValue = "Primary DNS setzen..."
GUICreate("", 350, 200, -1, -1, $WS_Popup, "", "")
GUICtrlCreateLabel($InfoValue, 0, 25, 350, -1, $SS_Center, "")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Sleep(2000)

If you need to use the default settings use -1 instead of "" because that is zero so you actually told it to be zero pixels long

Hi,

You can use the wrong Style on the label and have the text in the Horizontal & Vertical center of the Label as well.

But doing so will kill the wordwrap

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Global $InfoValue = "Using BitOr($SS_CENTER,$BS_CENTER) styles on a label :-)"
Global $Timer = 1100, $i

$hGui = GUICreate("", 350, 200, -1, -1, $WS_Popup)
$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel($InfoValue, 0, 0, 350, 200, BitOr($SS_CENTER,$BS_CENTER))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGui)

AdlibEnable("RotateInfo", $Timer)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch    
WEnd

Func RotateInfo()
    AdlibDisable()
    Local $SSI = StringSplit($InfoValue, " "), $Data 
    If $i > $SSI[0] Or $i < 1 Then
        $i = 1
        $Timer = 1100
        $Data = $InfoValue
    Else
        $Timer = 700
        $Data = $SSI[$i]
        $i += 1
    EndIf
    GUICtrlSetData($Label, $Data)
    AdlibEnable("RotateInfo", $Timer)
EndFunc

Cheers
