How to change text alignment in "Description" column of ADE Explorer

Volker T
Volker T 5 months ago

Dear all,

I would like to change the alignment of text displayed in the "Description" column of ADE Explorer's "Output Setup" tab (IC23.1) of a maetro view.

There are environment variables like

envSetVal("adexl.gui" "headerAlignmentSide" 'string "Center")

(obviosly for ADEXL / ADE Assembler) or

envSetVal("maestro.gui" "nameDisplayWidthInDataView" 'cyclic "Interactive").

So, for a few things, one can set the behaviour / display style by envrionment variable.

Looking up the documentation for this, I did not manage to find any such environment variable defining text alignment in a specific column.

Is there any? Or, can I modify this at least somewhere in the GUI by some command / setting accessible by menu?

Thank you.

Regards,

Volker

    Volker,

    I'm not aware of any mechanism to be able to change this - either interactively or via a cdsenv var.

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Thank you very much. Your answer is in line with my further investigations using Cdsenv Editor.

    After searching Cdsenv Editor for keywords "Center", "align" or "alignment", I guess the answer to my question indeed simply is: "You can't."
