Vertical font alignment - not available in text gadgets ?

[agb2008]

Just another quick question - when I use text gadgets it seems that there is no
option to align text - so that it would be centered in terms of vertical alignment -
am I correct ? Text would be displayed at the top of gadget... Same thing happens
for string gadgets. Any possible workaround ?

Yes, you are correct.

As for workarounds, there are many offered in this forum. Here's a fairly old one, recently infused with some new suggestions:

>> StringGadget Vertical

[RSBasic]

Vertical align (center) for TextGadget:

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 500, 400, "Window", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  TextGadget(1, 10, 10, 480, 400, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.", #SS_CENTERIMAGE)
  
  Repeat
    Select WaitWindowEvent()
      Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
        End
    EndSelect
  ForEver
EndIf

Code: Select all

TextGadget(1, 10, 10, 480, 400, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.", #SS_CENTERIMAGE)

It should be noted that the SS_CENTERIMAGE flag is a Windows-only style setting, which only works with the TextGadget(), and not the StringGadget().

Thank you for your suggestions ! A bit strange that this option is not available in PB...
