AGS-wrapper-string-size

AutoIt Gui Skeleton package for wrapping the library StringSize.au3 created by Melba23 (thanks to tranxexx for the default DC code). See this package on npmjs.com

StringSize

The StringSize library takes a text string and calculates the size of label required to hold it as well as formatting the string to fit.

Local $stringSize = _StringSize($text, $fontsize, $fontweight, $fontattribute, $fontfamily, $GUI_width - $marginLeftRight*2)

If(Not @error) Then
      $label_TEXT_reformated = $stringSize[0]
      $label_WIDTH_calculated = $stringSize[2] ; ($stringSize[2] / $dpi)
      $label_HEIGHT_calculated = $stringSize[3] ; ($stringSize[3] / $dpi)
    
      GUISetFont($fontsize, $fontweight, $fontattribute, $fontfamily)
      GUICtrlSetData($label_ID, $label_TEXT_reformated)
      GUICtrlSetPos($label_ID, $marginLeftRight, $top, $label_WIDTH_calculated, $label_HEIGHT_calculated)
EndIf

How to install AGS-wrapper-wrapper-string-size ?

We assume that you have already install Node.js and Yarn, for example by taking a Chocolatey. AGS framework use Yarn for manage dependencies.

To add this package into your AutoIt project, just type in the root folder of your AGS project where the package.json is stored. You can also modify the dependencies property of this json file and use the yarn install command. It is easier to use the add command :

λ  yarn add @autoit-gui-skeleton/ags-wrapper-string-size --modules-folder vendor

The property dependencies of the package.json file is updated consequently, and all package dependencies, as well as daughter dependencies of parent dependencies, are installed in the ./vendor/@autoit-gui-skeleton/ directory. Note that with an AGS project, it is not necessary to explicitly write this option --modules-folder vendor on the command line, thanks to the .yarnrc file stored at the root of the project. Yarn automatically use .yarnrc file to add an additional configuration of options.

 #./.yarnrc
 --modules-folder vendor

Finally to use this library in your AutoIt program, you need to include this library in the main program. There is no need for additional configuration to use it.

#include './vendor/@autoit-gui-skeleton/ags-wrapper-string-size/StringSize.au3'

What is AGS (AutoIt Gui Skeleton) ?

AutoIt Gui Skeleton give an environment for developers, that makes it easy to build AutoIt applications. To do this AGS proposes to use conventions and a standardized architecture in order to simplify the code organization, and thus its maintainability. It also gives tools to help developers in recurring tasks specific to software engineering.

More information about AGS framework

AGS provides a dependency manager for AutoIt library. It uses the Node.js ecosystem and its dependency manager npm and its evolution Yarn. All AGS packages are hosted in npmjs.org repository belong to the @autoit-gui-skeleton organization. And in AGS you can find two types of package :

• An AGS-component is an AutoIt library, that you can easy use in your AutoIt project built with the AGS framework. It provides some features for application that can be implement without painless.
• An AGS-wrapper is a simple wrapper for an another library created by another team/developer.
