Widget Width

Width

from WinCustomize Forums
If you have text is there a way to make so the background width changes the text. And if you change the text it will automaticly change the size of the background width. Let me know if you need more explanation.

I'm not totally sure what you're looking to do, but if you create an object, set its Appearance Type to Text, set the format as you like it (left,centered, right) you can then use the script to set the content of the text, and set the width. It will word wrap if the width is set to less than the length of your text, and if you want a line break, code it like this:

Object.Text = "This is line one"&chr(13)&"this is line two"

To set the object's properties from another object, use DesktopX.ScriptObject("objectname").Text (or .Width)

Hope this helps.

This dosent work for some reason.

To set the object's properties from another object, use DesktopX.ScriptObject("objectname").Text (or .Width)


This is what i typed in:

'Called when the script is executed
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
DesktopX.ScriptObject("Test").Width = 100
End Sub

'Called when the script is terminated
Sub Object_OnScriptExit

End Sub

Use this:
DesktopX.Object("ObjectToBeResized").Width = DesktopX.Object("TextObjectThatYouWantTheOtherToResizeTo").Width


Using it right now, should work for ya.

Sorry, my bad, I am so used to accessing the script namespace.
