WiseScript Editor Reference
Note
A dialog unit is based on the size of the dialog font, usually 8-point MS Sans
Serif. A horizontal dialog unit is 1/4 the average width of the font and a vertical
dialog unit is 1/8 the average height of the font.
Width / Height
Specify the exact dimensions of the control in dialog units. You can also resize
controls by dragging their handles, though this is not as precise.
4. Click OK.

Adding Text Controls

Use text controls to display information on a dialog box. Text controls are static controls,
which means that the end user cannot change them.
1. Open the dialog box in the Custom Dialog Editor.
See Editing Dialog Boxes
2. Select Add menu > Text Control.
The Text Control Settings dialog box appears.
3. Complete the dialog box:
Text
Enter the text, up to a maximum of 511 characters. To start a new line, press
Ctrl+Enter. Enter variable names surrounded by percent signs to display the
application's name or other information.
See Variables and Expressions
Control Name
Enter the name by which you will refer to this control in the dialog box script.
Leave this blank if you will not manipulate this control with a script.
Text Alignment
Select how to align the text in the field.
Fit pathname to field width
If the control displays a path, mark this to cause the path to be shortened, if
necessary, to allow it to fit in the allotted space. Omitted directories are
indicated in the path by "\...\".
No Wrap
Mark this to prevent text wrapping if the text is too long to display on a single
line.
No Prefix
Normally, the ampersand character (&) in static text indicates that the next
character should be underlined and used as a shortcut to that control. If you
mark this check box, the & is displayed literally and no underlining is
performed.
