RE: [Pythoncard-users] TextField alignment

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

MessageSorry, the underlying wxTextCtrl doesn't support it, though it is
often requested on wxPython-users and wx-users. There is the RightTextField
component based on the wxRightTextCtrl addition to wxPython that could
probably be modified to support both right and center justification. The way
it works is when the field has focus and can be edited, the field behaves
like a normal TextField (wxTextCtrl) component. But when the text is simply
being displayed, the code for drawing the text is handled by a custom method
to do the right justification. Apparently, the wxRightTextCtrl doesn't work
too well except on Windows, but I can't verify that right now.

Anyone interested in making a mod like this should chime in on the wxPython
or wx-users mailing lists.

I'm glad to hear you have been able to do useful stuff with PythonCard.

  Subject: [Pythoncard-users] TextField alignment


  Hi folks,

  Is there a way to specify that when entering text in a Textfield, the text
is always centered in the field? StaticText has the alignnment property, but
I couldn't find this for Textfield.

  Thanks,

  Rudy

  P.S. By the way, I believe PythonCard is absolutely the greatest. I'm a
newby in Python development and certainly in GUI development. I tried the
different GUI extensions for Python, but PythonCard just beats them all. In
about two hours I had the interface for my app ready.
  Keep up the good work.
