Re: [Iup-users] A bag of questions.
More Info: I've got a text without a border - as I want it. It works for multiline=yes. Seems that only the combination of multiline=No and border=No is not working for me.

But notice that border is a creation only attribute, so it must be set before mapping into the native system. The Milind example does that. -- ___ Iup-users mailing list Iup-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/iup-users
Re: [Iup-users] A bag of questions.
I just tripple-checked my code, it never tries to change the border after mapping. Only right after creation. Even before requesting multiline=yes - which works. (Debian, gtk2) So the problem must be something else. But how to nail it? /Jörg Am 04.08.2015 um 17:00 schrieb Antonio Scuri: I just tested BORDER under Windows, GTK2 (Ubuntu 10) and GTK3 (Ubuntu 14). And they all work fine.

I didn't understand your requirements fully. But are you trying to achieve

iup.text { border=NO; value=This is good;

dlg = iup.dialog{vbox; title=Dialog,size=QUARTERxQUARTER}
dlg:show()
if (iup.MainLoopLevel()==0) then
iup.MainLoop()
end
This is essentially what I'm doing. Works OK for the simple case.
Maybe except that I'm seeing borders around the iup.text, which is my
first problem.
The second is with the positioning. Using gridbox I'm trying to get the
left column to make all of the widest label visible. But I can't figure
out how to achieve that. I don't have to have gridbox there, but I'd
prefer vertical alignment for the second column.
The third is how to format the right hand side. Often it's short text
too. But there is also long single line text, which could really
benefit from word wrapping. And there is text with embedded newlines,
which in turn needs to be displayed as is. It's easy to use different
controls/arguments for each case. But so far all but the short text do
strange things for me.

Hi,
I'm trying to find a replacement formatting for what my current web app
does using an html table.
The table is simply two columns: a label in the left and value in the
right column.
I want/need it to look mostly like readable text, not so much like a
separate GUI elements.
At least the value side should allow to copy selected text into the
clipboard.
Initially I tried to do so using the label control. But there seems
to be no way to enable the text selection copying I need.
So I switched to use the textbox control. Somehow I can't get that
right. readonly works, but the attempt to remove the border (by
creating it with border=No) fails. It still has a border. Using
multiline with a single line of text seems to create at least two lines
for the control. Using wordwrap (which according to the docs would be
something I want for my table) on it collapses it back to a single line
but *adds* a scrollbar (for no reason I can see).
Am I doing it all wrong?
Is there a better way. E.g., using label or something else?
Furthermore I tried to format the table using gridbox. I failed
completely.
Somehow I can't figure out how to tell the gridbox to expand the left
column to fit the largest label. How would I do this? I tried
FITTOCHILDREN=C0
Another idea was to use the width of the strings and calculate a propper
minsize for the elements (labels) in the left column of the gridbox.
But how would I do this? The length of the string does not match well
to the actual width using proportional fonts. And I failed to find a
way to compute the width I should use.
Thanks
