Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi folks - what gives?





I've checked this a couple of times, but the syntax matches the manual, but it won't accept it.

EDIT: I checked the version of the MM+ manual on Geoff's site, but the syntax for this command is the same in that manual, so I guess it is right?Edited by Grogster 2016-12-14

I checked the syntax and the command is missing the (Top,Middle,Bottom) character for the justification.


ie:

GUI caption #1,"Main Menu:",85,15,LT,RGB(magenta)

G,

I can confirm this on 5.2 on a 470 driving a 7" screen.

If you omit the justify and colour arguments, it works; If you omit the justify and do use colour it also works.

eg.
GUI CAPTION #1,"Test",85,15
.... works
GUI CAPTION #4,"Test2",185,45,,RGB(BLUE)
.... works
but using l(lower case) or L or LEFT or LT fails as you indicate

Wrong!!! As mentioned, you need both x and y justification even though the manual says 1 or 2 characters. So LT works!

Yeah, manual says justification can be one or two letters, so I only tried one.

I will play with this some more when I get back at the end of the day. Right now, I am off to a day-long job, but will check this thread again later. I will use LT if that works.
