Fields
Center | 2 | The object or text is aligned in the center of the control element. |
Left | 0 | The object or text is aligned on the left of the control element. |
Right | 1 | The object or text is aligned on the right of the control element. |
Examples
This example shows how to use the HorizontalAlignment
enumeration to align the text to the left, right, or in the center of a control element. First, create a TextBox with a specific size, and add a text string to it. Then, use the enumeration member Center
to align the text in the center of the TextBox
. The example assumes that you have created a Form named Form1
and a TextBox
named textBox1
.
private:
void Form1_Load( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
// Add a text String* to the TextBox.
textBox1->Text = "Hello World!";
// Set the size of the TextBox.
textBox1->AutoSize = false;
textBox1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( Width, Height / 3 );
// Align the text in the center of the control element.
textBox1->TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment::Center;
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Add a text string to the TextBox.
textBox1.Text = "Hello World!";
// Set the size of the TextBox.
textBox1.AutoSize = false;
textBox1.Size = new Size(Width, Height/3);
// Align the text in the center of the control element.
textBox1.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Center;
}
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' Add a text string to the TextBox.
TextBox1.Text = "Hello World!"
' Set the size of the TextBox.
TextBox1.AutoSize = False
TextBox1.Size = New Size(Width, Height/3)
' Align the text in the center of the control element.
TextBox1.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Center
End Sub
Remarks
This enumeration is used in numerous classes. A partial list of these classes is CheckedListBox, ColumnHeader, ComboBox, ControlPaint, Label, ListBox, Control, RichTextBox, and TextBox.
