RTEXT (1.2)

The Resource Compiler RTEXT Statement
RTEXT text, id, x, y, width, height[, style]
The RTEXT statement creates a right-aligned text control. The control is a
simple rectangle displaying the given text right-aligned in the rectangle.
The text is formatted before it is displayed. Words that would extend past
the end of a line are automatically wrapped to the beginning of the next
line. The RTEXT statement, which you can use only in a DIALOG or WINDOW
statement, defines the text, identifier, dimensions, and attributes of the
control. The predefined class for the control is WC_STATIC. If you do not
specify a style, the default style is SS_TEXT, DT_RIGHT, and WS_GROUP.
Field Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
text Specifies text that is right-aligned in the rectangular area of the
control. This field must contain zero or more characters enclosed in
double quotation marks. Character values must be in the range 1
through 255. If a double quotation mark is required in the text, you
must include the double quotation mark twice.
id Specifies the control identifier. This value must be an integer in
the range 0 through 65,535, or a simple expression that evaluates to
a value in that range.
x Specifies the x-coordinate of the lower-left corner of the control.
This value must be an integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or an
expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or
subtraction (-) operator. The coordinate is assumed to be in dialog
units and is relative to the origin of the dialog box, window, or
control containing the specified control.
y Specifies the y-coordinate of the lower-left corner of the control.
This value must be an integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or an
expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or
subtraction (-) operator. The coordinate is assumed to be in dialog
units and is relative to the origin of the dialog box, window, or
control containing the specified control.
width Specifies the width of the control. This value must be an integer in
the range 1 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of integers
and the addition (+) or subtraction (-) operator. The width is in
¼-character units.
height Specifies the height of the control. This value must be an integer
in the range 1 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of
integers and the addition (+) or subtraction (-) operator. The
height is in 1/8-character units.
style Specifies the control styles. For a list of possible styles, see the
topic ◄Static styles►. You can use the bitwise OR (|) operator to
combine styles.
Example
This example creates a right-aligned text control that is labeled
"Filename".
RTEXT "Filename", 101, 10, 10, 100, 100
