I don't really know what this so called 'box' is.
But in label control there is the property Align, this aligns text (Eg in centre). Is this what you want?

Hi:

No...that property it's to appear in the screen...I want print!

Oh, printing to an object. Sorry I don't know.

to print to a form, in the center horizantal and vertical

printstr = "the string i want to print"
form1.currentx = (form1.scalewidth - form1.textwidth(printstr)) /2
form1.currenty = (form1.scaleheight - form1.textheight(printstr)) /2

he forgot to put form1.print printstr

Hi:

Ok...this code print text center vertical and horizontal,but in the middle of a form...It's not exactly that I want to do!!!

That I want to do is:

1 - I Draw a box:

Printer.Line (700, 4600)-(5350, 7680), , B

Now I want put text "The String I want to Print" in this box but centered.

This is possible?

[westconn1]

printer.currentx = (5350-700 - printer.textwidth(printstr)) /2
printer.currenty = (7680 - 4600 - printer.textheight(printstr)) /2
printer.print printstr

i think that should do it, but haven't tested

ok,the code work!

Thanks a lot
