Centering Text in Button 1

[Bloobird]

Hi - Am I being stupid here ? I have a button with text on it which goes over 2 lines - I want this text centered rather than Left justified -how can I do this ?

Thanks

in the properties box for the button there is a property for setting the text to justify-center.

I believe you, but I can't see anything like that in the properties box - what is the property name ?

Thanks

This is an option button? I actually don't think there is a way to center the text. There is an alignment property, but that only controls which side of the text the button goes on.

If you want to be tricky, you could try padding your second line of text with spaces at the begining. This will indent it enough to appear centered, although it is a pain in the neck.

Here I go again. Instead of trying to force the problem to be solved, Don't.

Make the option button(s) have no text and put label next to it.

Actually, it was AdaHacker who brought up options. Bloobird has yet to confirm. Since the phrase was "with text ON it", it probably is a command button. So Bloobird, which is it?

Transparent label comes to mind.

You would think it was a command button, except that text on command buttons is centered by default, which suggests that either it's some other kind of button, or something is terribly, horribly wrong.

Command button text goes left justified if it wraps, and I think that's what Bloobird means by 2 lines.

Hullo! Set the style to graphical and the text is centred. Peter Meachem

Sorry guys, I'm running on British time here - yep, it was a Command Button I was having a problem with centering the text on (If it wrapped over 2 lines) - setting the Style property to Graphical solved the problem - Thanks all
