dc_msgbox Caption Cutoff

[Cliff Wiernik]

As shown in the attached image, as shown in Xdot, using this line of code

dc_msgbox(,,{'Not found'},'Warning')

the caption is cutoff. I think the checking routines for the size of the message box dialog should also make certain that it is wide enough to avoid chopping the caption off.

I have known about this problem for awhile but haven't yet found a solution because the width of the title bar can't be easily determined. I'll try to find time to fix this.

this can be temporary solution :
dc_msgbox(,,{padc('Not found',30," ")},'Warning')

You are right.
This is what I have suggested for several years.

[Cliff Wiernik]

I can handle that. I wrap a function into dc_msgbox anyways.

Besides, DC_MsgBox() does not reflect SCALEFACTOR if set with DC_GetOptDefault(), so it stays as the only dialog not scaled.

I found other problem with dc_msgbox in new release 264. In 260 was messages modify with DCSAY Pad(aMessage..., in new version 264 without Pad.
Old version centered messages in center , because I cannot allign it to left side .
But new version need set buttonsize, because I must modify every call this function.

That is correct.
Are you saying that you want it to change with the SCALEFACTOR?

I would have to add a new Get-Set function to enable that capability.

Give me a sample of how you are calling DCMSGBOX and how you are modifying the call.
I don't understand.

[Victorio]

excuse me, I must prepare sample. here is only part from it.
I mean, in old version was buttons other size, than in 264, in 260 was centered in new was align to left and smaller. So, it can be my mistake, than have not set every important parameters.
