Re: textLabel.Text ... stripping spaces from text
The TextLabel control displays text more like a html page and can have embedded (simple) html code such as...
<p>...</p> <br> <b>...</b> <h2>...</h2>
I'd suspect that this is a 'feature' as its really the end result of however the html parser works in Gambas.
I tried this and it will embed 10 X spaces in a string...
TextLabel1.Text = "test" & String(10, " ") & "test"
The other option is to use a standard label where there is no additional formatting.
<p>...</p> <br> <b>...</b> <h2>...</h2>

Re: textLabel.Text ... stripping spaces from text
thank you for the response and suggestions
now I see what the difference between Label and a Textlabel
I do have a lot to learn ... I hope I am not a pest

We don't allow pests on this forum...only people with a desire to understand what-on-earth is happening to their Gambas code!
Keep 'um coming!
Yes, html is designed to remove any surplus white space (e.g. multiple spaces between characters) although you can still use Tabs in a TextLabel.

Hello
To make a comparison, there is also this possibility:
Have a good day.
To make a comparison, there is also this possibility:
Code: Select all
Public Sub Form_Open()
Label1.Caption = "Welcome" & Space(7) & "gambas3"
TextLabel1.Caption = "Welcome" & "\t" & "gambas3"
End

Re: textLabel.Text ... stripping spaces from text
Thanks for the help
The only one I have been able to get to works is :
String(5, " ")
Which at this time is all that I need.
