Hi. I didn't find this in the FAQ. Has anyone had this problem before?
I'm trying to put up windows containing text. The chunks of text may
vary in size, so I was using default positioning. However, default
positioning seems to work differently (and strangely) with *slightly*
different bits of text. For example:
(make-instance 'dialog
:window-type
:document-with-grow
:view-font
'("Chicago" 12 :srcor :plain)
:view-subviews
(list (make-dialog-item
'static-text-dialog-item
nil nil
"Welcome to PEP.
If you want to see this screen again,
click on the 'help' button."
nil)
(make-dialog-item
'static-text-dialog-item
nil nil
"If y
prefer, please click on the word SCREEN."
nil)))
The text in the window is positioned well, ie:
Welcome to PEP.
If you want to see this screen again,
click on the 'help' button.
If y
prefer, please click on the word SCREEN.
But if the second piece of text is changed to:
"If you
prefer, please click on the word SCREEN."
The second piece writes over the first, ie:
If you
prefer, please click on the word SCREEN.
click on the 'help' button.
WHY??!! Nothing else changes, or is changed. I am confused.
Thanks,
Kim.
