B4J Question Create Label & Set Text Alignment In Code

[margret]

I am trying to complete some library conversions to B4J and have some questions. I am creating a label in code then trying to set the text alignment in code. So far, I have found no option to do this. Am I overlooking something? I see no option to set gravity or align TOP, BOTTOM, etc.

Thanks for any help.

I believe it is done with the Style parameter of the control - using the '-fx-...' attributes.
eg
label1.Style = "-fx-text-alignment: justify"

This does work but where do you find these references? It does not support TOP. Justify and center work.

If you look at this page, at the very bottom are links to show what effects can be added to what controls.

Hope it helps.

btw, all the styling for a control has to be sent in one command otherwise only the last 'control.Style = ' takes effect.
