[no bug] ListBox Selected Element Question

[gavinj64738]

Hi Guys,

Ive got a quick question that somebody could possibly help me out with.


Ive made the list box rediculously large to be sure there is no wrapping (although i didnt think it had any)

As you can see from the screenshot the problem im having is

1> the location of the selected item in the listbox is offset from the item text.

2> the offset from the first list box item seems to be broken and beyond the boarder of the list box even though there is no scroll bar on it.


The code ive used to create this is..

Code: Select all

guiLBNavComp = env->addListBox(core::rect<s32>(10,340,400,560),0,105,true);

And implemented each time the map changes in iteration like this

Code: Select all

wchar_t tmp[20];
swprintf(tmp, 20, L"%S\n",GameBody::GameBodys[i]->name);
GameBody::GameBodys[i]->guiid = guiLBNavComp->addItem(tmp);
printf("Adding %s with id %i\n", GameBody::GameBodys[i]->name, GameBody::GameBodys[i]->guiid);
guiLBNavComp->setItemOverrideColor(guiLBNavComp->getItemCount()-1,video::SColor(255,0,200,100));

Any pointers to list box and list box item formatting would be appreciated.

try another fonttype (theres a fontmaker tool in the /tools folder) and maybe another size.
this helped me out when i had this problem.

Great thanks.. yep. .ive tried the default font as well as several others and no luck so far.. is there an offset setting that works like a stylesheets or somthing?

Your question is not stupid, in fact, I looked in yhe class definition and I really don't understand how you get this bad result.
There is not a single font size parameter...

Have you tried to change the alignment parameters ?

Ouch, looks like a bug in either the font or the list box.
What font are you using, and can you upload it somewhere for testing?

Ive had another look at this problem and after not looking at it for a while, it made the error very clear to me..

swprintf(tmp, 20, L"%S\n",GameBody::GameBodys->name);

Notice the \n in the swprintf. The line feed as messing up the alignment.

Definately not a bug, many thanks for the assistance.
