as per the reference, but I believe Erel is correct and control of alignment is not possible.
I only used TextArea as it was already in a form I was using as a template for a new project, but as you suggest Erel, for my purpose a Label would be OK.
Erel I changed to use Labels and have used Rectangles to provide backgrounds of various colors. However I want to change the Rectangle color under program control, however none of the methods I've tried work.
