CDLabeler

The CDLabeler application was developed to be a small tool that gives you a great deal of control over what you place on the cd label. Whatever goes on the cover will be duplicated on the backing. There is also a seperate label for the sides of the CD (trust me, THAT makes it so much easier to find a CD).

The information on the screen will be saved in the INI file after the program ends and reloaded when it starts. The filename is CDLabel.ini. The kind of font basically is set by using the font button. That will choose the font name, color and the like. In the listing you must enter the font width and font height. What that means is rather complicated, but think of it as  "average" font width and height. This is in inches.

If you want (or need) to have a different values for the above for the top or bottom, then you can use a forward slash ("/") to seperate the values. The first for the top, the second for the bottom. The next thing is to choose where to place it. The program has an internal "return" system where if "YES" is placed in the return column, then the location where to place the next line will be automatically placed. If not, then the "Offset" location will determine where to place it. These Offsets are measured in inches.

If you want to use a rotated text, you can enter in the rotation section, in 10ths of Degrees. If you want to change the weight of the font, just enter in a value, where the basis "Standard" weight is 500. To add special affects, in the "Special" column, enter a 1 for Italic 11 for Underline 22 for both 0 for none.

All text to be entered goes into the LINES column. If you want to add a picture, then first it must be a bitmap, and then you must enter the text just like this: "FILE: C:\WINDOWS\PICT.BMP" where the  "FILE: " is the important part, and then just give the correct path.
