Dynamic horizontal position of an object

[christiaan]

I want to position an edit box right after a text BUT the text's content is given by an user defined variable ($my_content$).

So the horizontal position of the edit box depends on the content of the user defined variable.

How can the edit box by positioned right after the text box ?



As far as I know objects positioning in WB is always absolut, not relative.

Any suggestions ?

I am confused looking at the image you are showing a Editbox and a Combobox is this what you are meaning?

If $my_content$ is in an Editbox could you use Alignment - Right?

Wow WWBman, very clever idea but the text needs to be aligned left

This is the source


This is the result


And this is what it should look like


Hmm, seems to be a very tricky challenge

[WWBman]

What object type contains $my_content$?

[christiaan]

$my_content$ is text and contains only text
