So I have been using Automator and the built in actions are pretty limited so I am trying to use AppleScript but I don't know how to resize the dialogue box to display all of my text .
I looked it up but couldn't find how to adjust the parameters for the dialogue box
There is no size adjustment.
The issue you are having is you are getting Automator to display the dialog.
Automator can only display it at the size that is fixed for it.
But other applications have different size values for their dialog windows.
For example "system events".
So you can ask "system events" to display the dialog for you within the 'Run Applescript' Action.
tell application "System Events"
display dialog "So I have been using Automator and the built in actions are pretty limited so I am trying to use AppleScript but I don't know how to resize the dialogue box to display all of my text .

I need to display a message dialog - just text, maybe an icon. Since there is no mouse or keyboard, there can't be no buttons, as I don't want to confuse people. It will be run from a python subprocess, so I'll programatically close it when I need to. I looked into zenity, but it doesn't offer an option to use no buttons, so I settled on yad, but I'm not able to get it to look right. Example:
yad --infobox --text-align=center --no-buttons --text="Error: relax, this is just a test" --image=abrt
Is there a way to configure it to not have that unnecessary space where the buttons would be, and to vertically align the content?
We would like to change the font, color and size of the text displayed in message boxes.
Can/how do you VBA this?
Nothing tried, we are not finding any help in online manuals, including the Microsoft help site.
We would like to make the message box big, bold and loud.
Easy answer: You can't.
That's why you can't find anything about it in the official documentation of the MsgBox function.
A workaround can be to create your own UserForm where you are free in how to style it.
Add a UserForm in your workbook's code module, and configure it with as many Label and CommandButton controls as needed.
If the label text will be static, you can configure these all through the Properties window in the IDE:
Labels, Command Buttons, etc., are accessible Controls on the UserForm, and can be altered dynamically during runtime if needed, e.g., during the form's Initialize or Activate or any other event handlers. Controls on the form can even alter other controls, for example you could leverage the command button's Click event handler to modify the text associated with Label1 control, etc.
You can even add (or remove) controls (labels and such) dynamically, too, and fully control their appearance/formatting/etc.
I want to view on the Linux console two dialog windows on the same time
one window that view the progress BAR
and the second tailbox that view the logs are running.
The problem is that the dialog present in the central of the console
What I want is to view the two dialog boxes on the same time on the console while the progress BAR is on the top of the screen
and the tail BOX should present down in the screen.
How to implement this?
How to place the dialog window up or down and not in the center ?
dialog --title "RUN TASKS FROM TEXT TABLE" --gauge "Please wait..." 10 70 0
dialog --tailbox file.log 10 100
You might be able to get this to work, using --tailboxbg, followed by --and-widget and then --gauge. The positioning of the widgets is straightforward, using the --begin option. The complication is in handling input from the keyboard: dialog makes a special case for allowing multiple -tailboxbg options by polling input across the corresponding windows. That polling "works" for similar widgets (which have input), but --gauge does not use input from the keyboard.
I am working on Linux Operating System. I want to display a dialog box on an item selection from a drop down menu implemented in ncurses, but the problem is that the dialog box fills up the screen with blue background and further nothing can be done.So, is there a way to display ncurses dialog box inside current window preserving existing ncurses components?
Thanks in advance.
You might use CDK (Curses development kit) to the create dialog box. It provides many other widgets that you can use such as,
Alphalist
Button
Buttonbox
Calendar
Entry Field
File Viewer
Floating Scale
Floating Slider
Graph
Histogram etc...

I'm trying to create a program where i can select the input boxes on website and list them into a listbox. i can use the C and delphi language but neither of them i can do this. I'm not trying to make a whole new browser, but just want to be able to do this. In a way it is like, when google chrome puts an orange box around the input boxes. it recognizes that it is a box you can type in. How do i recognize with a program what text box i have selected with my mouse? thx :)
You should look into GreaseMonkey for firefox. It allows you to run custom javascript on web sites, allowing you to transform pretty much whatever you want on the page.
