Hi,
I'd like to have input fields in my applications GUI to display the paths to some files. Because a path can be much longer than a particular field is, I want to display the string aligned right if it is too long. Otherwise I want the standard left alignment. Is there something included in vw to realize this behaviour? Thanks in advance, Steffen _______________________________________________ vwnc mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/mailman/listinfo/vwnc |

An alternative is to use the tool tip to show the entire path. Terry =========================================================== Terry Raymond Crafted Smalltalk 80 Lazywood Ln.

Nevertheless, right-justification is useful in this instance, because you are more likely to change the right-most characters.
If it's possible, I think you might be able to do it by changing the text alignment manually in the postBuildWith: method. I'm not sure how to do that exactly (don't have an image handy), but it might be something like: (builder componentAt: #inputField) widget controller rightAlign Cheers!

Today I've looked again at this alignment problem.
I've noticed that the right (and center) alignement setting of input fields applies only to short texts. E.g. if I set a string (programmatically at the widgets model) which is longer than an input field, it wont be aligned at the right. Is this intended? I'd expect the text to be right justified always, except while editing. What can I do to achieve this?
