DH_PopupTextDisplay
Function:
A
text display sub-control that stays out of sight until the resizable
transparent rectangle is clicked. (The title "DH_PopupTextDisplay" can be
blanked out in right-click Properties, and the rectangle's outline and size
box are invisible when the panel is locked.) Two styles are available:
A fixed window with size and position determined by the designer, or
A floating window that the end user can move and resize.
Left-hand side pins:
Popup Bkgd RGB, Popup Txt RGB - Set the background and text colors of the text display.
Notes:
These are integer COLORREF RGB values, as used by Windows, and can be obtained most easily using the DH_HexRGBtoRGB or DH_HSLtoRGB modules in this package, or the DH_TextToRGB or DH_ColorPicker modules from DH_Sub-ControlPak.
Popup Font, Popup Font Size - Set the font used in the text display. Fonts include the core Windows fonts, plus a few others that are widely distributed.
Initial Height, Initial Width - Dimensions of the text display when it first opens, in pixels.
Initial X Offset, Initial Y Offset - Position where the popup text display will first appear, relative to the upper-left corner of the text display rectangle, measured in pixels. Positive X and Y move the popup to the right and down, negative X and Y move it to the left and up.
Show List - Provides an alternative way to trigger the popup display.
Parameters: (right-click Properties)
Window Style - Floating or Fixed, as described above.
Text Alignment - Left, Center or Right.
