Static Text Syntax

Syntax

Arguments

%Directives%

Character. Refer to Xdialog Language Directives and Operators.

Text

Character. The text to display.

Enabled

Logical. Optional. See Enabled Syntax.

Description

The {'} syntax allows you to insert static text anywhere on an Xdialog.

Example

format = <<%dlg%
{'Hello World }{sp=3}
%dlg%
ui_dlg_box("Simple Xdialog", format)

This example shows how to format text with a hanging indent. The left margin is defined by the position of the first character after the {' sequence.

ui_dlg_box("Hanging Indents",<<%dlg%
{wrap=50}
This script demonstrates a technique for creating bulleted points with hanging indents.;
{lf};
- {'This is point number 1. You will note that when it wraps, it does not wrap to the left edge of the dialog.};
{lf};
- {'This is point number 2. You will note that when it wraps, it wraps just like point number 1.};
{lf};
{justify=center}
<10&Close!close>;
%dlg%)
