CTEXT Control

The CTEXT resource-definition 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.

Syntax

CTEXT text, id, x, y, width, height [, style [, extended-style]]
 

Parameters

text

Specifies text that is centered in the rectangular area of the control.

style

Specifies the control styles. This value can be any combination of the following styles: SS_CENTER, WS_TABSTOP, and WS_GROUP.

If you do not specify a style, the default style is SS_CENTER | WS_GROUP.

For more information on the text, id, x, y, width, height, style, and extended-style parameters, see Common Control Parameters.
