In my code I have: //Process X and Y alignment string[] arystrXYalign = strValue.Split (cstrAlignDelimiter); if (arystrXYalign != null && arystrXYalign.Length == 2) ( PropertyInfo piCAlign = tControl .GetProperty("ContentAlignment") ...

Do you mean set the size of a single dimension array then manage the size myself? e.g. Lets say each file is a maximum of 64 bytes and I want 10 files so I would set the array size to 640 bytes? Of course also allowing a null terminator for each string. ------------------------------ Kind regards, ...

RE: FTOptix 1.6.5.1 How to add new line in a label?

I don't think this solution is useful to my problem, as I said in my post I need to set this up from C#. [Edit1] It seems that the technique of adding a \n between two strings only works if you do it in the Optix front end. I've tried setting a Label.Text parameter to `Line1\nLine2` and it appears ...

I'm obvious thick, because I cannot get this to work, I clicked the Text link 'Change Dynamic Link` , then the `Advanced` tab . In the String formatter, I've tried text before and after \r\n and also '\r\n' and just to check `\r\n`, none of these worked. ------------------------------ Kind regards, ...

I'm using FTOptix 1.6.5.1, I have a `Label`, if I edit `Text` property in FTOptix and use the key combination `Alt+Enter' a new line is inserted into the `Text`. If I try to use \n, \r or \r\n, no new line is inserted, what do I have to do to achieve the same result as `Alt+Enter`, I'm asking because ...

FTOptix adding custom style for layouts

I am using FTOptix 1.6.5.1, I have two layouts which I want to implement styles for, but I don't know how to do this, I've searched online and the problem I'm seeing now which I think AI is to blame is often the results returned are incorrect and cannot be implemented. I have a vertical layout (subMenus) ...

Having something solely online is not what I would call documentation, you have to search for what you want and might be able to find it, why can't there be a central repository where everything is in one place? Also the quality of what is available is often very questionable, where it seems someone ...

I cannot see any option in FTOptix to set the style for a Window or Panel, so from your post I should add a rectangle then set the `Style` there. You say Optix doesn't use CSS, then it has copied a lot from the standard because the syntax and names are almost identical. ------------------------------ ...
