HorizontalAlignment (Property)

In french: CadrageHorizontal

Horizontal alignment determines how the text is positioned relative to the borders of the control. This allows you to center the content of a Static control in relation to the control borders.

There are different alignment options:

align left
align right
center
justify

The HorizontalAlignment property gets and changes the horizontal alignment of a control.

The initial alignment is defined in the editor, in the control description.

Example

// If the control is aligned left, align it right
IF STC_Static1.HorizontalAlignment = haLeft THEN
STC_Static1.HorizontalAlignment = haRight
END
