Syntax

ctl[n]: STATICTEXT(Class Specific Properties), Other Properties

Description

This user control places a text in the dialog window. By default, this user control is not actionable.

Class Specific Properties

CENTER
Center-aligns the text.
LEFT
Aligns the text to the left. (default)
LEFTNOWORDWRAP
Aligns the text to the left and deactivates word wrapping.
NOTIFY
Makes the user control actionable and activates tooltip.

Other Properties

Text
Defines the text contents. (default = no text)
Val
Assigns a value to the static text. (default = 0)
Color
Defines the background color. (default = transparent)
FontColor
Defines the text color. (default = white)

Example

ctl[0]: STATICTEXT(MODALFRAME, NOTIFY), "OK", Color=Red, FontColor=Yellow, Action=APPLY, Size=(60,30)
ctl[3]: STATICTEXT(CENTER), "Edit me"

Notes

Once the static text user control is actionable, its value definitions are lost. The reason is that an action returns a specific value and overwrites (once the mouse button is clicked over the user control) the user control's value. For example, the action APPLY returns a value of 2.
