What is the syntax to align something in the center

richtextbox1.SelAlignment = ?

thanks

SelAlignment only works if you already have text selected. If you dont have anything selected then it cannot "Sel(ect)Alignment"

You need to use the SelStart and SelLength to set what is currently selected (or alternatively use the mouse to select the portion and then in your procedure you can do the following )

If richtextbox1.SelLength > 0 Then
  richtextbox1.SelAlignment = 0
End If

0 - Left
1 - Right
2 - Center

Hi steel,

You can use

richtextbox1.SelAlignment = 2

or

richtextbox1.SelAlignment = rtfCenter

Sorry Gen-X, but I have to disagree with you based on this information from MSDN:

The SelAlignment property determines paragraph alignment for all paragraphs that have text in the current selection or for the paragraph containing the insertion point if no text is selected.

All the best.
