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

END;

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.
