Help with automatic centering of text

[rfresh]

I know this should be an easy thing to figure out, but my code to auto-center label text isn't working the way I want.

I have 3 labels of varying text length. What I expected to see on the screen was something like this (I'm using underscore on this post as spaces otherwise spaces are removed):

_____This is label text line one
___This is label text line one two
This is label text line one two three

But what I got was this:
This is label text line one
This is label text line one two
This is label text line one two three

My code:

bl_Title.Left = (pScreenWidth - lbl_Title.Width) / 2

But clearly this is not right?

Thanks...

Have you set the horizontal alignment to CENTER in the designer?

Have you set the horizontal alignment to CENTER in the designer?

Can this be done if not using the designer. i.e adding it in code?

try this

Dim l As Label
l.Gravity = Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL

it's as simple as that!
