Text alignment & wrapping

[Jhd.Honza]

The first question is quite simple... is there any way how to make the text (in standard VB5 label) "justified"?

OK, I have just solved the second one (but If you still wants to know it... how to put the prepositions on the beginnig of the line -> use some cool ASCII chars, like 255, instead of spaces.)

Use the 'alignment' property of the label, you can set it to left, right or centre justified.

I hope this is what you mean and I haven't got the worng end of the stick !

cheers

Thank you, but I was thinking about justifing both to left and right together...

'try something like this
'the autosize makes the print fit the label
'and then I just position the lable in the center of the form
'you can put it where you like with a few calculations

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Label1.Caption = "Help me out please"
    Label1.AutoSize = True
    Label1.Left = (Form1.Width / 2) - (Label1.Width / 2)
End Sub

Justifying on Labels is
Impossible,   but  it's
possible   to   use   a
custom control.

Or,   try  to  set  the
number    of     spaces
along     with      the
GetPixel command.

Very complicated.
