Expanding and Centering ImageItems appearing as Buttons

Question

Hi,
I am developing a midlet for school which has a Form as main menu. I've added StringItems appearing as Buttons to this menu and I want them to fill the complete screen so I used the LAYOUT.EXPAND. No problems so far, everything works but I want the my button's label to be centered as well. I've tried everything and searched everywhere but nothing works. My current source;
      roosterVandaag = new StringItem("Rooster vandaag", null, Item.BUTTON);
      datumKiezen = new StringItem("Datum kiezen", null, Item.BUTTON);
      settings = new StringItem("Opties", null, Item.BUTTON);
      roosterDownloaden = new StringItem("Rooster Downloaden", null, Item.BUTTON);
      afsluiten = new StringItem("Afsluiten", null, Item.BUTTON);
      //Set de layout voor de StringItems
      roosterVandaag.setLayout(Item.LAYOUT_EXPAND);
      datumKiezen.setLayout(Item.LAYOUT_EXPAND);
      settings.setLayout(Item.LAYOUT_EXPAND);
      roosterDownloaden.setLayout(Item.LAYOUT_EXPAND);
      afsluiten.setLayout(Item.LAYOUT_EXPAND);Now I need to center the text which appears in the Expanded Button..please help me, I'm desperate because this is for school!!

Hi,
Problems regarding the layout of items on the screen is a common problem in MIDP when developing for a specific target device.
Where did you encounter those problems? You didn't mention it, but does your solution -- including the correct hint from jack -- work as expected on the Wireless Toolkit simulator? I know that there are some devices out there that have a different implementation regarding the layouting of items...
