CTEXT text, id, x, y, width, height[, style]The CTEXT statement creates a centered-text control. The control is a simple rectangle displaying the given text centered in the rectangle. The text is formatted before it is displayed. Words that would extend past the end of a line are automatically wrapped to the beginning of the next line. The CTEXT statement, which you can use only in a DIALOG statement, defines the text, identifier, dimensions, and attributes of the control.
text
Specifies text that is centered in the rectangular area of the control. This parameter must contain zero or more characters enclosed in double quotation marks.
Character values must be in the range 1 through 255. If a double quotation mark is required in the text, you must include the double quotation mark twice.
id
Specifies the control identifier. This value must be an integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or a simple expression that evaluates to a value in that range.
x
Specifies the x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the control. This value must be an integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or subtraction (–) operator. The coordinate is assumed to be in dialog units and is relative to the origin of the dialog box, window, or control containing the specified control.
y
Specifies the y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the control. This value must be an integer in the range 0 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or subtraction (–) operator. The coordinate is assumed to be in dialog units and is relative to the origin of the dialog box, window, or control containing the specified control.
width
Specifies the width of the control. This value must be an integer in the range 1 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or subtraction (–) operator. The width is in 1/4-character units.
height
Specifies the height of the control. This value must be an integer in the range 1 through 65,535 or an expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or subtraction (–) operator. The height is in 1/8-character units.
style
Specifies the control styles. This value can be any combination of the following styles: SS_CENTER, WS_TABSTOP, and WS_GROUP.
You can use the bitwise OR (|) operator to combine styles.
If you do not specify a style, the default style is SS_CENTER and WS_GROUP.
This example creates a centered-text control that is labeled “Filename”:
CTEXT "Filename", 101, 10, 10, 100, 100
