[RESOLVED] Centering text vertically

[litlewiki]

I attached two pictures of text boxes with password property



and



As we can see the text in the second one is aligned in the middle(vertically) whereas the text in the first one is not.

So how do i center the text for the first text box??

p.s:The second one is the dialup interface of windows

I think the font is just bigger, and the textbox is sized to the text, to give the effect that its centered.

this is probably a fair bit simpler. use two textboxes.

' Text1 - the 'outside' box, set Locked = True and clear the text property at design time 
' Text2 - the 'inside' box, set BorderStyle = None at design time
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    With Text2
        .Height = 15 ' or 1-pixel
        .Move Text1.Left + 15, (Text1.Height - .Height) \ 2 + Text1.Top
    End With
End Sub
 
Private Sub Text1_GotFocus()
    Text2.SetFocus
    Text2.SelStart = Len(Text2.Text)
End Sub
