Numeric get from right to left

[Pedro Faro]

Hi

is possible in :

redefine get oGet var num PICTURE '9999.999'

instead of numbers being writen from left to Right , being writen from right to left like calculators do . The number can have decimals.

Best regards

This is the only way to make get objects handling numeric vars to align them to the right properly. What I do remember is that the height of the get has to be at lease 13 pixels or it will show nothing under Win 3.x.-----------------------

The edit control in the resource should be set as shown in this one:

CONTROL "", 403, "Edit", ES_RIGHT|ES_MULTILINE|WS_BORDER|WS_TABSTOP, 104, 52, 56, 10

Of course the ID number would be different, as would the last 4 digits identifying the control position and size.
