RE: [AD] Alert function.

It all depends on how you want them spaced... and if they're all the same width... etc.

 

For n buttons of the same width, w, space, s, and buttons centered around the dialog center,

 

bs = n*w + (n-1)*s // Space required for buttons

if( bs < dialogWidth )

{

    x(0) = (dialogWidth - bs)/2;

    for i = 1 to n-1;

        x(i) = x(0) + i*(w + s);

}

else

    // No room

 

I'm sure that they're plenty of other ways to do this...

Good luck.

Subject: [AD] Alert function.

I've rewritten the alert function adding in some new functionality and I'm trying to figure out how to align the x axis of the buttons.  The new system has a variable number of buttons, so the solution to my problem cant be solved the same way (that and I can't understand how the old alert3 function did it).

Attached is a picture of the alert dialog (poorly handdrawn).  I need to calculate the two blue points.  Their y position is easy, but how do I find its x?

Any advice at all or links would be helpfull

Thanks,
