label alignment
Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to place a static text label in a dialog and have it centered (i.e. something like CreateLabel with width 100% but tell the control to align the text to the center).

Thanks!

If you are using nsDialogs, it is simple:

${NSD_CreateLabel} 0 190 100% 20 "Test"  
  pop $lblTest
${NSD_AddStyle} $lblTest ${SS_CENTER}

Look here for more styles:

given the handle to your label control in $hwnd, use...

${NSD_AddStyle} $hwnd ${SS_CENTER}

...before displaying the dialog.

Example:


"nsDialogs.nsh"


>OutFile "$%temp%\temp.exe"


>var dialog

>var hwnd

>var null


>Var hUpDown


Page custom Test


>Function Test

    nsDialogs::Create 1018

        Pop $dialog


   ${NSD_CreateLabel} 0 0 100% 20% "This is a test$\nThis is only a test."

        Pop $hwnd

       ${NSD_AddStyle} $hwnd ${SS_CENTER}


   nsDialogs::Show

FunctionEnd
