Hello everyone, 

Im working on datawindow style, I have a datawindow with big fields, and I need the text to be vertically centered inside the fields. Is there any way to do it? You can see the datawindow down below.

Hi Pau,

As far as I know, you can only center texts horizontally, but what you could do, is:

If your text is "myText"

change it to: "~rmyText"

(so preceding the text with the character you get when you do a ALT+126, followed by a 'r' and than the text)

If you make the control in such a way that it has a height in which 3 lines will fit, the text will appear vertically centered.

(would be a nice enhancement request by the way).

(small detail: you have a typo: "Sessió Porgamada" has to be "Sessió Programada", unless mi Catalá is really bad.)

saludos

Hi Miguel,

I have read your two answers, I will try to do something with the advice you have given me, later I will post the result of how the datawindow looks. Thank you for letting me know about the spelling error, you have not made a mistake at all, it is "Sessió Programada".

Now that I read your question again ...

You want to vertically center the text in "fields", not in "text2 objects.

In that case you could try to apply a format like "~r[general]" (havent' tried it myself) or maybe easier, do something similar to what you already do in the summary:

no border for the field, transparent background colour and center it with a text object below which will have the background and border you want.
