Text
Regular text control. Used for labels or captions.
Control Styles
These control styles are available when creating a Text control. Remember that the general styles disabled, group, hidden, notheme, tabstop and transparent apply to all DCX controls except the embedded Dialog and Window controls.
alpha | Control is alpha blended.
center | Control text is centered.
endellipsis | If the end of a string does not fit in the rectangle, it is truncated and ellipses (...) are added.
hgradient | Draws a horizontal gradient with the colors specified.
noformat | Disables support for mIRC codes in control (faster).
noprefix | Prevents interpretation of any ampersand (&) characters in the control's text as accelerator prefix characters. These are displayed with the ampersand removed and the next character in the string underlined.
nowrap | Single line of text (default is multiline) (not compatible with center or right).
pathellipsis | Replaces characters in the middle of the string with ellipses so that the result fits in the specified rectangle. If the string contains backslash (\) characters, pathellipsis preserves as much as possible of the text after the last backslash.
right | Control text is right aligned.
shadow | Display text with a shadow.
tooltips | The text control will have a tooltip.
vgradient | Draws a vertical gradient with the colors specified.
Note. shadow will only work if the text color is not black or the same as the default text color on the current windows theme (ie. $rgb(0, 0, 0) or $dcx(GetSystemColor, COLOR_WINDOWTEXT) respectively). Change it by using xdid -C mIRC control codes are only supported when transparent style is set.
/xdid flags
Control commands are input to the control with the /xdid command.
/xdid -a
This command allows you to append text to the control (to bypass the 900 mIRC character limitation).
Syntax: | /xdid -a [DNAME] [ID] [SPACE] (Text)
Example: | /xdid -a dcx 4 Appended text
Parameters:
SPACE | A space will automatically be appended between the previous text and the new appended text.
/xdid -r
This command clears the text.

/xdid -t
This command lets you set the text.

$xdid() Properties
The $xdid identifier is a given mIRC alias that communicates with the DCX DLL to extract information in DCX controls.
$xdid().text
This property lets you retreive the text.
Syntax: | $xdid(dialog, ID).text
Example: | $xdid(dcx, 4).text
