Make the rows straight in dialogs - _Tommy - 04.02.2011

I was wondering, is there any option to make the dialog rows straight? For example, if I make one line as "Item (Value: 100)", and the second one "Item2 (Value: 100)", and then I chenge "Item2" to longer word which make the final text look like:

pawn Код:

Item       (Value: 100)
Item2isnowlonger       (Value: 100)

What I want, is to make the text look straight, instead of how this looks, for example:

pawn Код:

[LEFT]Item [/LEFT]                           [RIGHT](Value: 100)[/RIGHT]
[LEFT]Item2isnowlonger [/LEFT]               [RIGHT](Value: 100)[/RIGHT]

Got me? There is a live example of my server, just took this screenshot:

I would be glad to get some suggestions.

use \t

Re: Make the rows straight in dialogs - _Tommy - 04.02.2011

Can you show me an example of a code using the '\t' function?

pawn Код:

ShowPlayerDialog( playerid, 1, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST, "TEST", "Ak47\t\tCost $20\nBerreta\t\tCost $30", "Buy", "Close");

'\t' inserts a tabulation (check how is Slice using tabulations in his signature). You can use tabulations on your strings using \t.

Still not the solution.
This is what happened after I used your hint:

This is my string:

pawn Код:

format(String, sizeof(String), "1. %s\t\t\t(Value: %d)\n2. %s\t\t\t(Value: %d)\n3. %s\t\t\t(Value: %d)\n4. %s\t\t\t(Value: %d)\n5. %s\t\t\t(Value: %d)\n6. %s\t\t\t(Value: %d)\n7. %s\t\t\t(Value: %d)\n8. %s\t\t\t(Value: %d)\n9. %s\t\t\t(Value: %d)\n10. %s\t\t\t(Value: %d)\n"

Stupid question: How does your tabulator-key works? ;P
Simply remove one "\t" (tabulator)

Well I don't really think thats the case since the results are the same.
It still shows me what It was showing me before I removed one tabulator, and this is my new string:

pawn Код:

format(String, sizeof(String), "1. %s\t\t(Value: %d)\n2. %s\t\t(Value: %d)\n3. %s\t\t(Value: %d)\n4. %s\t\t(Value: %d)\n5. %s\t\t(Value: %d)\n6. %s\t\t(Value: %d)\n7. %s\t\t(Value: %d)\n8. %s\t\t(Value: %d)\n9. %s\t\t(Value: %d)\n10. %s\t\t(Value: %d)\n",

It's common sense that you have used more than One tabulator

Please read my last reply, it still doesn't work.
