Listbox words not aligning up after using HTML for changing string color
Show older comments
Hi,
I'm having some issues with the text alignment in one of my Listboxes due to using HTML to change the color properties of each individual string. I was wondering if there's anything that I could do to fix the problem and have the letters alligne just like the first Listbox(left)?
I've tried to change the Listbox font but with no effect. I am positive that the reason why the lettes dont align is because of the HTML line/code implemented to charge the string property, since once I remove the code or not use it(as shown in figure 1, left) the letters allign properly.
Thank you
code used to for string color manipulation:
line = sprintf('<HTML><BODY bgcolor="transparent" text="blue" >%s',line);

Where does the "P" come from?
Accepted Answer
str = sprintf('<HTML><FONT color="blue" face="monospace">%s', str);
You can get the font name of the listbox explicitly:
FontName = get(ListBoxHandle, 'FontName');
str = sprintf('<HTML><FONT color="blue" face="%s">%s', FontName, str);
Btw, using the symbol "line" as name of a variable shadows the built-in function with the same name.
[EDITED] In HTML several neighboring spaces are displayed as one space. Therefore try this to convert the string:
str = strrep(str, ' ', '&nbsp;');
str = sprintf('<HTML><FONT color="blue" face="monospace">%s', str);
PS. Creating the string "&nbsp;" is not trivial in the forum, because this is displayed as non-braking space. Therefore I had to escape the & by using the HTML special character.
