HiYa Brains :-)

How can I center text in a text field gadget?

Sorry to bother you with this trivia, I'm polishing.

I've never done this before but maybe you could use LSet and RSet to pad each line? Heres some psuedo code:

For each line in text field:
  pad=text_area_width - line_width
  line=LSet(line,pad/2)
  line=RSet(line,pad/2)

Output lines

Just an idea.

Hi Sauer :-)

Thank you for that, I'll give it a try.
I was down to measuring the stringwidth and fitting the fieldsize to that!
