center dialog text

[claptomanic]

hey guys ;D

how it's possible that the text of a dialog (the title not the text on the buttons) is centered and not left-aligned automatically? or is it even possible at all? with a command like |n for a line break for example....would be nice to know because up to now it looks really bad^^

thanks in advance

What do you mean? The dialog's title is centered automatically.

mine is to long to i had to use |n and so just the first line is centered and the rest is left-aligned....and so i need to have something to center that text.

What about using spaces?
In the GUI text editor (standard, I don't use the JNGP one) you can easily see how the text gets alligned.
It will look exactly the same as it does in there, but I guess images can explain this better than me.

If you're going to convert that to a JASS string, remove all the enters and replace them with line breaks.
It should work.

the problem is that the text is a bit more difficult ^^
the number of letters differ every time because there are words changing so i cant use spaces...secondly the text is made of concatenate strings nd so adjustment is (at least afaik) impossible that way xD

any suggestions now how i can center the text?

This seems to be more difficult than I had thought :/.
My first response was "Hey, what if I make a table of the width of all characters and then loop through the string to see how large the offset must be and add an equivalent amount of spaces?".
And I'm still stuck with that as my only idea . (Well, I did think about changing the color of part of the string to make it invisible. That would make it easier, but it's impossible to get it perfectly invisible).
