  • 1.  Dynamic string text

    Posted 11-02-2018 15:24

    Hello! I am trying to make a gameshow system out of ross dashboard. And know I have a problem. The question that is a text string is to long for the label I have pre-defined the length of. Is there a possibility for dynamic text? So, what I want to do is tell the label "when over 70 characters make a line shift at the nearest space." Is there an easy way to do this?


    Best Regards
    Sondre

    Wrap your text in <html></html> and it will be able to span multiple lines automatically:
    <label height="280" left="40" name="&lt;html&gt;&lt;center&gt;I am a very long piece of text in a very narrow box.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/html&gt;" style="txt-align:center;size:Big;" top="20" width="120"/>

    Note: The < and > brackets are escaped here since I have pasted the raw XML. In the "Name" field of the label (or in ogscript.rename or params.setValue), you would just send:

    "<html><center>I am a very long piece of text in a very narrow box.</center></html>"

    Is there a way to make a button that changes the background color of a visual parameter like this one? So if I push a button the BG of this box turns green or red.

    For your second question as to how to change the background color of an element, this can be done with the "ogscript.setStyle" function.

    Example below:

    <abs contexttype="opengear" gridsize="20" id="_top">
   <button buttontype="push" height="80" left="100" name="Click me" top="100" width="200">
      <task tasktype="ogscript">ogscript.setStyle('text1', 'bg#FF00FF');</task>
   </button>
   <label height="80" id="text1" left="360" name="Changes this" style="txt-align:center;bg#181818;bdr#7A7A7A;bdr:thick;font:bold;size:Bigger;" top="100" width="300"/>
</abs>
