How to arrange labels within the INPUT command? - Spybot - 03-26-2015 07:35 PM
Hi Everyone!
I'm trying to display some labels within the INPUT command... everything is fine, except for the fact that I need those labels to show on the right side of the box(just like in the LINEAR SOLVER APP) , I know the default is to show them on the left side of the box. So, Is there a way to show them to the right?
Thank you.

Does adding leading spaces work?

This is my code:
EXPORT TEST()
BEGIN
LOCAL A;
INPUT({{A,[0],{50,10,2}}},"title","Label"); //NO help!
END;
the result is shown in screenshot #1 but I'd like to achieve something like the screenshot # 2 without PhotoShop.

Arranging labels independently may not be a built in feature of the INPUT command, but in a desparate act of dogged determination you could embellish this skeleton idea to possibly achieve what you are after, (this is just a 'food for thought' notion, not a fully working example):
Code:
EXPORT Test()
BEGIN
LOCAL A:=0;
local black:=rgb(0,0,0),
cyan:=rgb(245,250,255),
white:=rgb(255,255,255),
blue:=rgb(0,0,255);
local title:="title",label:="Label";
rect_p(G0,0,0,320,240,cyan); // Clear G0 graphic screen.
rect_p(G0,0,0,320,18,black,blue); // Clear G0 "title"
rect_p(G0,132,107,155,125,black,white); // Clear a rectangle for use as an input field
textout_p(title,G0,160-3*length(title),2,3,white,40,blue); // Display "title" text
textout_p(label,G0,160,109,3,black,50,cyan); // Display "Label" on RIGHT side the input field <the main objective!>
textout_p(IP(A),G0,135,109,3,black,9,white); // This just forces "0" into the input field, as an example
textout_p("Enter value for Label",G0,0,204,3,black,320,cyan); // Help line shows just above a soft button choices
drawmenu("Edit","","","","Cancel","OK"); // This is a dummy soft button field.
wait(-1); // displays the above activity for awhile

Hi Thank you for your answer DrD!
I admit that it is a very clever and informative approach, it definitely shows more that I expected, now I got a clear notion not only on how the INPUT command really works at this moment, but also how other commands work.
I appreciate you took the time to generate this answer.

Bonjour,
I am looking to find a way to input some data in my defined screen with rect_p() and
textout_p.
I tried the code above, but it does not work as I want and require wait(0) !
Is it a way to accomplish easily this with INPUT.
note : INPUT command bypass my defined screen with standard screen !...
Thanks a lot for your attention.
