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 Text control in relation to the control borders.

There are different alignment options:

left-hand alignment
right-hand alignment
centered
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

// Si le champ est cadré à gauche, on le cadre à droite
IF LIB_libellé1.CadrageHorizontal = haLeft THEN
	LIB_libellé1.CadrageHorizontal = haRight
END
