(text) formatting in AlertWindow() ?

[higgy]

Hi,

Ctrlr version: 5.4x

On my panels I’m using AlertWindow() (not utils.AlertWindow but the juce method) to display popup windows with help text/documentation for the panel functions (panel buttons call a ctrlr method which opens AlertWindows)

Is is possible to add at least some basic (text) formatting, e.g.
– minimum width of the popup window
– fixed font (instead of default proportional)
– and, the holy grail, add images and/or graphs

I tried with lookandfeel but I must say I don’t get in tune with it.

Or maybe someone has some other ideas for displaying ‘built-in’ help text?

BTW: juce DocumentWindow() and DialogWindow() are not available in ctrlr, right?

Thx
Franky

Shouldn’t that be possible with either addcustomcomponent or addtexteditor? They are both available in alertwindow class in Juce.

the panel uses addTextBlock (only displaying text, no need for editing), but as said, I don’t find a way to formatting. OK, I’ll dive into customcomponent.

Is this of any help?

There are some formatting thingies..

unfortunately not. This covers Lua strings but my problem is in juce. Tried yet again ctrlr look&feel with getAlertWindowMessageFont and getAlertWindowFont definitions/overwrites but neither AlertWindow nor AlertWindow:showMessageBox do react to font settings. I’m close to give up… :-/
