checkbox label

[meerkat]

Is there a limit on the size of a checkbox label.
I can't get the complete label to show.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help..


checkbox #1.cb,  "I am a checkbox", [set], [reset], 10,  10, 130, 20
checkbox #1.cb1, "I am a checkbox", [set], [reset], 10,  40, 230, 20
checkbox #1.cb2, "I am a checkbox", [set], [reset], 10,  70, 330, 20
checkbox #1.cb3, "I am a checkbox", [set], [reset], 10, 100, 430, 20

WindowWidth  = 500
WindowHeight = 160

open "Checkbox test" for dialog as #1
#1 "font arial 12 bold"

wait

Dan,

I get different results with lb4.5.1 and lb5 (lin)

both though don't like the font size, rem it out or set it to 9

which works for 4.5.1 but lb5(lin) still wont display it all.

someone smarter than me will give us a reason.

checkbox #1.cb,  "I am a checkbox you need to check to select your option", [set], [reset], 10,  10, 360, 20
checkbox #1.cb1, "I am a checkbox", [set], [reset], 10,  40, 130, 20
checkbox #1.cb2, "I am a checkbox", [set], [reset], 10,  70, 130, 20
checkbox #1.cb3, "I am a checkbox", [set], [reset], 10, 100, 130, 20

WindowWidth  = 500
WindowHeight = 160

open "Checkbox test" for dialog as #1
#1 "font arial 9 bold" 'or rem it out

wait
[set]
wait
[reset]
wait

Under Win 10, font set to 125%
first program

font size 12
"I am a checkbox" shows just "I am a check"
"I am a checkbox***123456789" shows "I am a checkbox***1234"

font size 9
fits all text.

(Could it be related to 125% setting as well?)

A dialog type window should handle the DPI settings correctly, but that depends on the implementation of the Smalltalk widget.
From my experience a DPI setting of 100% always works, but newer monitors have a higher native resolution and you need higher DPI settings to get a more readable size of the text.
In general high DPI awareness is now state of the art and should be taken into account.
