ctrlSetTextSecondary and ctrlTextSecondary

[7erra 629]

Hello everyone,

 

I was messing around in the Poseidon sqf editor when autocompletion suggested me this command:

_ctrl ctrlSetTextSecondary "Text";
ctrlTextSecondary _ctrl;

When you enter this in the ArmA console autocompletion suggests it as well, but apparently there is no trace of this command anywhere on the internet (only on the All ArmA commands page). It is not explained anywhere. My tests with setting the text on several controls didn't do anything so the question is:

What does it do?

If someone knows please tell me since I am very interested in everything regarding dialogs. If not then it's also fine because I've survived this far without these commands.

 

Greetings,

 

Terra

Not sure what it does but I have seen it (textSecondary, fontSecondary etc) in the definition for RscShortcutButton (for example, the class definitions from BIS_fnc_exportGUIBaseClasses).

Amazing find @HallyG! This command seems to serve only one purpose which is setting the  centered text on the RscShortcutButton:
