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:

!include "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
Section
SectionEnd

Thanks! works like a charm :-)
