Message Box Question(please read)

Questions & Answers
1

Okay, so I have a message box script that I made and everything is going perfect except sometime the text is too much for the size of the box. Is there any way I can make the box’s height/width change according to how much text there is?

I found something in the GUI docs that can be usefull:

http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GUIStyle.CalcSize.html

It shows an example where the rect is calculated according to the label parameter:

function ProgressBar (value : float, label : String) {
    var size : Vector2 = GUI.skin.GetStyle("ProgressBarText").CalcSize(GUIContent(label));
    var rect : Rect = GUILayoutUtility.GetRect (size.x, Mathf.Max(size.y));
    rect = Rect(rect.x + 4, rect.y, rect.width -8, rect.height);
    EditorGUI.ProgressBar (rect, value, label);
    EditorGUILayout.Space();
}

I’ve not tested this, and I think the GUI docs are somewhat incomplete and obscure, but maybe this can help you.

this may help

`

    void OnGUI()
    {
        GUI.ModalWindow(0, new Rect(Screen.width / 2 - Screen.width / 5, Screen.height / 2 - Screen.height / 4, Screen.width / 5 * 2, Screen.height / 4 + 20), DialogWindow, "");
    }

    private bool showDialogWindow;

    public void DialogWindow(int id)
	{
		{
			GUILayout.BeginVertical();
			{
				GUILayout.Label("Use this item?");
				GUILayout.Space(20);
				GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
				{
					GUILayout.Space(20);
					if (GUILayout.Button("Yes"))
					{
						if (selectedUseItem)
						{
							DoSomething();
							showDialogWindow = false;
						}
					}
					if (GUILayout.Button("No"))
						showDialogWindow = false;

					GUILayout.Space(20);
				}
				GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
			}
			GUILayout.EndVertical();
		}
    }
