Center justify text in a String Indicator

[PRB]

This should be easy. I created a Property Node but I can't find a Justify
option under Properties.

If you don't have to do it programatically, you can click on the indicator (during development) and then select the drop down menu where you select your font and choose justify->center.

Hi,

I use this thread to ask my question, is there a way to center vertically the text in a string indicator ?

Thanks

Hi GerdW,

I hope for prb than is solved is problem since 05-20-2001 🙂

I took this thread because my problem is quite the same but I need a vertical centering.

I read on other posts than it wasn't possible (at least in 2007) but maybe now it has been implemented by NI ?

Thanks

Well, I tried a bit to allign vertically. But did not succeed  

But, i could make my string indicator transperent and place an string indicator like object behind the text box. to make it look like vertically center.

Isn't it another easier option ?

Like text properties - vertical alignment 😉

Hi remvu,

that happens if someone is entering a 8 years old thread to ask something completely different (I didn't notice the OP date, just yours...)

No, there is no vertical centering for string indicators in LabView... Either make it a one-line indicator (no centering needed) or go the way mentioned before. Or: use a picture indicator and "draw" the text in there

[remvu]

The text I need to display can be one line or 2,3,4 lines.

Maybe a solution is to add carriage return before the string in function of the number of charaters in the string and the place that I have in my display...

Mhh I will try that.

Then you may be insterested in Kudoing the Add vertical center for string indicators (and don't disable scrollbars on disabled indicators) idea in the LabVIEW Idea Exchange.
