Center align the contents of a TextField

[paulbradley]

Sounds basic but when I write

tN = new TextField("1");
tN.setAlignment(CENTER);

I get "cannot find symbol" error, despite the JAVA Api says I should be able to.

Any ideas for center alignment of text field? Thanks.

If you're willing to use Swing rather than AWT, I offer you the following:

        JTextField fld = new JTextField();
        fld.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.CENTER);

Hope this helps!

Many thanks, but I would rather stick to AWT, any way of doing it with bog-standard TextFields ? Cheers

There is an alternative to AWT/Swing ... SWT
