Vertically justify text in String Indicator

[twayne]

Hello, I saw a post on this question that was baout 3 years old and was wondering if there had been any changes made.

I am trying ot center justify, vertically, some text in a string indicator.  It defaults to the top of the indicator, or I can get it to go to the bottom, but i cant get it to float in the middle.  Is there any way to do this yet?

Thanks.

No insofar as I've seen. In addition to the picture control suggested in the 3-year old thread you could use 2 string indicators. One just acts as a background.  This doesn't actually have to be a string indicator - it can be anything to provide a background. The other is a transparent string indicator that you just move programmatically so it's centered vertically on the control acting as the background.

Ok, thanks.  I will see what I can figure out.  You would think that they would have a solution for something this simple after 8+ versions of this software.

Would suggest submitting it to the Product Suggestion Center.

I've done this in the past by using a classic tab control as the background. Since it's a container, the string is moved with it. If you want to use this in more than one place, you can try turning it into an XControl.
