Horizontal alignment determines how the text is positioned relative to the borders of the control. This allows you to center the content of a Static control in relation to the control borders.
There are different alignment options:
  • align left
    Text aligned left
  • align right
    Text aligned right
  • center
    Centered text
  • justify
The HorizontalAlignment property gets and changes the horizontal alignment of a control.
The initial alignment is defined in the editor, in the control description.
Example
// If the control is aligned left, align it right
IF STC_Static1.HorizontalAlignment = haLeft THEN
STC_Static1.HorizontalAlignment = haRight
END
