Rollout Labels will not Align to Center !?

blakestone — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 14:00:19 GMT

Documentation Reads: "The default alignment of label items is #center"

Obviously this is not correct as everything is aligned to the left even when specifying "align:#center" does anyone know the trick to make the label text aligned to center !?


(
  rollout gui_rollout "example" (
    label my_label "This text should be centered..." pos: width:440 height:16 style_sunkenedge:true align:#center
  )

  gui_floater = newRolloutFloater "" 480 65
  addrollout gui_rollout gui_floater
 
)

Documentation IS correct.
Alignment property is for the UI Control and not for the text inside.

And if you use #pos then #align is omited.

P.S. Also if you want the text inside Label to appear in the center then not use #width

A little odd that you cannot use POS with ALIGN... ah wells, I now understand and obtained the results I was after. Thanks for your response and examples!
