Alignment of Labels with Formlib does not work

corwin42 · Apr 24, 2009

I get an error "Only labels and textboxes support text alignment" if i try to align a label.

Greetings
Markus

PS: I installed the beta in a new location but it seems that it deleted the supplied libraries in the standard location.

Thanks. Labels are now custom controls (in order to support transparency).
This will be fixed.

In the IDE this works now. But the compiled application complains about "Only labels and textboxes support text alignment" again.

Is the FormLib.cs file in the 6.76 archive correct?

Greetings,
Markus

Yes.

The date should be 4/25/2009.

Ok, works now. I installed the 6.76 version again in a fresh directory and now it works. Seems that he found something from the 6.75 version because I installed the 6.76 in the directory of 6.75 before.

Thanks,
Markus

What is 6.76 any way. I ve Basic4PPC 6.5
is it a new revision of FormLib.dll, or a new Basic4PPC

I've a problem with the complied veriosn which has FormLib.dll here is the code :

Sub Globals
'Declare the global variables here.

End Sub

Sub App_Start

Form1.Show

flb.New1("Form1",B4PObject(1))
flb.TextAlignment("TextBox1",flb.alCenter)

flb.SetFontStyle ("TextBox1", True, False, False, False)

TextBox1.Text ="test test test test test"

End Sub

On desktop it works ok, on device gives an error :-
An error occured on sub ___main_app_start.

Exception
Continue?

Hello ayman,

Basic4ppc V6.76 is the actual beta-release of the upcoming version 6.8.

The stable version 6.5 works fine with the current revision of the formlib.dll so your error does not belong to the problem above.
Did the error occur on the device IDE, or during the start of an "normal" or "optimized" .exe?

in Basic4PPC 6.5, i was working a project, i ve recived this error.
So i decided to test that simple example.

I ve tried compile
Optimized device EXE gives
Error loading program.
Exception

device EXE gives
An error occured on sub ___main_app_start.

Exception
Continue?

-I've copied a new fresh copy of Formlib to the device.
- Msgbox (flb.DLLVersion) reads 2.3
- my device HTC wm6.0 with .Net 2.0

ayman12 · May 25, 2009

now I ve copied the source code to the device IDE
run the program, it says: Error loading program Excption

N.B : FormLib in the same dir on the device “Smart Card”.
I ve copied the file to the windows folder without any success.

Can you try the attached program, it works fine on my Qtek 9090 WM2003, it's just a copy of your's from post #6 . Optimized compiled.

Best regards.

I ve tested the last code on a Device named symbol with WM5.
it works fine.

Now the problem with my HTC touch WM6, in which the program return the last mentioned error

klaus · May 26, 2009

I have tried the program with B4PPC Version6.76 Device (AutoScale) compiled.
Runs OK on my htc Touch HD with WM 6.1 VGA screen.

With B4PPC version 6.76
- in the IDE flb.DLLVersion shows 2.5
- on the devices it shows 2.5

I have added in the program a scale factor to show it on my Touch HD, runs OK too.

With B4PPC version 6.5
- in the IDE flb.DLLVersion shows 2.3
- on the devices it shows 2.4

In bothe cases I let the IDE load the FormLib.
What version shows flb.DLLVersion on your Symbol ?

Best regards.

In Basi4ppc v6.50 Formlib.dll has the version number 2.3 and the source code used for optimised compile says 2.4. I don't know if it was a typo or if there is a minor difference. Looks like Erel fixed it for Basic4ppc v6.76.

ayman12 · May 26, 2009

you are right it is 2.3 on desktop, and in Symbol 2.4 wm5

Wait for Basic4PPC 6.8

Ver 6.8 And FormLib TextAlignment

I ve just installed the new ver.6.8
I am working on an Arabic Project, in which i need the text to be right Alignment, but it is not work for me.

the code is attached

The code works well in desktop only
I am testing the code on HTC-WM6.0 with Arabic support

What is worng in my code?

klaus · Jun 10, 2009

I have tried your code with Version 6.80 with the test text not the arabic one, no font on the device.
- Device (AutoScale) compiled, runs OK on my htc Touch HD with WM 6.1 VGA screen.
- Device EXE compiled, runs OK on my Qtek 9090 WM 2003

So I don't see what the problem is, is it with the arabic font ?

Best regards.

ayman12 · Jun 11, 2009

The text is always Left-Alignment. whatever my selection.

I do not know, may the problem in the font type??

N.B
it works well on desktop, the problem on the device.

Erel · Jun 11, 2009

Do you get any error message?
Does it work with a TextBox instead of a Label?

derez · Jun 11, 2009

It runs OK on my mio 350 WM5 with Hebrew installed.
