Examples

Example 1:

_control ctrlSetStructuredText parseText "First line<img image=data\isniper.paa /><br />Second line"

Example 2:

To adjust text vertically, add extra line above with blank space ( ) and set its size accordingly:with uiNamespace do { button = findDisplay 46 ctrlCreate ["RscShortcutButton", -1]; button ctrlSetPosition [0,0,0.3,0.1]; button ctrlCommit 0; button ctrlSetStructuredText parseText "<t size='0.5'>&#160;</t><br/><t size='1' align='center'>Button Text&#160;&#160;</t>"; };

Example 3:

There is a bug with valign that requires adding 1 extra trailing space per line to the displayed text in order to keep it centered horizontally: disableSerialization; private _ctrl = findDisplay 46 ctrlCreate ["RscStructuredText", -1]; _ctrl ctrlSetPosition [0, 0, 0.5, 0.5]; _ctrl ctrlSetBackgroundColor [0, 0, 0, 1]; _ctrl ctrlCommit 0; private _lineHeight = getNumber (configFile >> "RscStructuredText" >> "size"); private _linesTotal = (ctrlPosition _ctrl select 2) / _lineHeight; private _trailingSpace = ""; for "_i" from 1 to _linesTotal do { _trailingSpace = _trailingSpace + " " }; _ctrl ctrlSetStructuredText parseText format ["<t size='%1'><t size='1' align='center' valign='middle'>%2%3</t> </t>", _linesTotal, "------ Centered Text ------", _trailingSpace];

When using parseText on an RscStructuredText control, with custom Attributes set (extra config Class), it needs to be in the same line as ctrlSetStructuredText:
_text = "abc"; _ctrl ctrlSetStructuredText parseText _text;
The following Code would use none of the custom Attributes of the selected Control, instead it falls back to Standard Values (Font, Size, Color, Align, etc) _text = parseText "abc"; _ctrl ctrlSetStructuredText _text;
