Edit Control Alignment

[OneSource]

Hi .....

How do I center text in a multiline edit control vertically? In other words, I want the text to appear in the middle of the edit control's entire window instead of on the first line.

Thanks,

There's no easy way to do it (i.e. no edit style that has that effect), I suggest writing a function to calculate and insert the necessary number of Carriage Returns to center the text, whenever it is modified.

If you really need the text centered you will have to "paint" or draw it yourself. Counting lines will only approximate centering.

apatterno and palbano, thanks for your replies. Since "there's no easy way to do it", I won't worry about it. After all, I am a beginner in VC++ programming!

Thanks again,
