Hi,

Is there a scripting method to center justify text in a text widget? It appears that the text is currently displayed as left justified in the defined rectangle area.

Thanks,

Paul

    Currently, it's left justified. I'll ask if this can be added.

    Thanks Lyndon.  For those of us being asked by clients to replicate DVD-style subtitles that would be very useful.



    Cheers,

    Hi Lyndon,



    Could you please show me where I would call SetSafeTextRegion to create a safe region inside the widget below?  I am doing something wrong - if I set up another rectangle called rectSafe to establish a 5 pixel safe zone and call text.SetSafeTextRegion(rectSafe) I see the gray Widget rectangle but get no longer see text displayed.

    '------ Create Text Widget
    rect=CreateObject("roRectangle", x+10, y+h-90, w-20, 80)
    text=CreateObject("roTextWidget", rect, 2, 1, 0)
    ok=text.SetFont("arial.ttf")
    text.SetForegroundColor(&hFFEBEBEB)
    text.SetBackgroundColor(&h80808080)
    text.Show()



    Thanks.

    That all looks correct. I looked at the autorun file, and the call is normally made after the new rectangle has been created with the safe settings.
