How to align text within an EditText?

Hello,
using this simple one as an example:
var w = new Window('dialog');
w.preferredSize = [200,100];
w.et = w.add('edittext', void 0, "Some text");
w.et.preferredSize.height = 40;
w.show();
The "Some text" is placed top-left in the EditText - is it possible to control its alignment, i.e. ['center', 'middle']?
(just to be clear, I'm not interested in the EditText position within the Window, but just the text within the EditText itself).
Thank you!

Davide, use the below example with either left, center, or right. You have to have the justify line right after the line that creates the edittext box:
#target photoshop
var dlg = new Window('dialog','test')
dlg.txt = dlg.add('edittext',undefined,'this it the text');
dlg.txt.justify = 'center'
dlg.txt.size = [200,60]
dlg.show()

How to Align Text in the TextArea

How to Align text in the TextArea. My purpose is that I want to post the records after retrieving from database. All the records in each fields should keep aligned like Oracle WorkSheet.
I want this way
Code Name Place City
a01 nilopher swiss street japan
a02 rozina lovely street aus
a03 benazir king's camp pitsburg
and the out put should not look like this :-
Code Name Place City
a01 nilopher swiss street japan
a02 rozina lovely street aus
a03 benazir king's camp pitsburg
here place and city records are getting disturbed accordingly the length of name.

Well, first off (if it's not default, that is) you must set a monospaced font on the TextArea, unless you want to count pixelwidth of each and every string and then do an estimate on how many fill blanks you want...
If you have the each string as a line, you use a StringTokenizer on it, extract each token, put all the tokens for that line into an array of strings.
When every line is done, you compare the length of the nth String of each array and save the highest numbers.
Then you reassemble each line from the arrays and pad in spaces where the tokens are too short.

Does anyone know how to highlight text within a mac mail message?

Does anyone know how to highlight text within a mac mail message?

I can't find that option in Mac Mail's editor. You can use a more feature rich editor like OpenOffice or Pages to create your message. Then copy/paste into mail.

How to align text at the top and bottom of a cell?

I'm making a periodic table and need help with aligning text at the top and bottom of a cell. I'll have a picture in the middle of the cell with text above and below the pic. Thank you in advance for any kind of suggestions you can give me.

It sounds as though you want to have 3 separate items inside of a single cell; text at the top of the cell, text at the bottom of the cell, and then a picture in the middle of the cell. I am no expert, but to my knowledge that is not possible (someone please correct me if I am wrong.) I also cannot figure out how to put a picture inside of a cell itself.
I do have a way to accomplish the end result so long as what you need is the final look and not a useable table in numbers.
Create 2-3 cells for each element. (The middle cell, unless you can put pictures in a cell and I don't know, would just be there for peace of mind, but would hold the picture if you can, I would just do two if the pictures are to be in front of the cell anyway.) The top cell align text to top on the Text tab of the inspector. The bottom cell, align text to bottom on the same tab. Then place the picture in the middle. Now, you have what you want except there is one or two lines dividing the cells. To get rid of this, either click the middle cell if you have one, or the top or bottom cell. Click on the Cell tab of the inspector. Select the bottom border and/or top border button and select "No Border" under border styles. To make this fast, select a full row at a time, or use command click to select all of the same type of rows (middle, top, or bottom) and change all cells at once.
I hope this helps. Best of luck!

How to align text to left of tabbedpane

I am trying to align my text in a tabbedpane and it only centers, is there a way to make the text within the tab left aligned?
Here is my code:
================
tabbedPane.addTab("Step 1/Campaign",null, new CampaignPanel(),"General Campaign Information");
tabbedPane.addTab("Step 2/MOP", null, new MOPPanel(),"Method of Payment Entry");
tabbedPane.addTab("Step 3/Shipping", null, new ShipPanel(),"Shipping Information Entry");
I have tried to use HTML in the text by <P align="left">some text</P>, but that didn't do it.
thanks
Dean
tabbedPane.addTab("Step 4/Leads", null, new LeadsPanel(),"Load and test Campaign Leads");

If you want to change the layout of the text inside a tab, one solution is to override the layoutLabel method the BasicTabbedPaneUI... it's kinda complicated so I'm hoping someone out there has a better solution.
Anyway, the line to look at in layoutLabel is:
SwingUtilities.layoutCompoundLabel(
(JComponent) tabPane,
metrics,
title,
icon,
SwingUtilities.CENTER,
SwingUtilities.CENTER,
SwingUtilities.CENTER,
//SwingUtilities.TRAILING,
SwingUtilities.CENTER,
tabRect,
iconRect,
textRect,
textIconGap);
Here you can specify where things go in the tab. Arguments 5-8 deal with the text position and text position in relation to the image.

How to align text in drawstring method

hai,
i'm using drawString method in my application. i'm using it to draw certain data in a editorpane. in that i have to align the text content but i don't know how to align the text in it such as right alignment,left alignment and center alignment...

JEditorPanes render text on their own, there shouldn't be any reason to call Graphics.drawString() on your own, unless perhaps you are creating custom Views.
In any case, we cannot help you unless you post an SSCCE .

That code didn't fix the problem
It just moved the text right to the bottom of page. Last time i did this, the text was static. It couldn't be highlighted.
I know there are tutorials, but i just need help with this as i can finish the website. I am doing all the tutorials currently (lynda.com), but its a long way from now and will be happy if someone can help me get the text in the grey box rather than falling out of it.
Try the code below in IE9. It should work if the browser is backwards compliant. I'll be amzed if it doesn't. Unfortunately I don't have IE9 available to test in. Didn't even know it was available. Is it a beta version of the browser which maybe hasn't been fully tested yet?

How to align text in margin with text in document

I am using InDesign CS3 and am trying to figure out how to add text to the left of my document where there are figures and tables (so I can later create a table of figures and table of tables). I cannot get the text "Figure 1", "Figure 2", etc. to line up horizontally in the left margin with the figure I placed in the center of the document. What am I doing wrong?

> What am I doing wrong?
It's hard to say what you're doing wrong without first knowing what
you're doing. How are you trying to line up text with figures? In what
way does it not work?

How to align text to another text box

I am very new to Indesign and I am signed up to Lynda.com so watching few a lot of tutorials, that said I need help with aligning text.
I have a text box that is 100mm across. It has text centered. "£5"
then above this I have in a smaller font saying "from"
from
£5
I need to get the "f" of from to line up with the beginning of the £ sign? So that If I change the price to £500 the from sticks to the "£" Sign.
To explain again the from needs to align to the left of the centred text.?
Hope that make sense?
Matt

This can be done by putting the "from" text into a custom positioned anchored object just before the £ sign. You'll need to set the X coordinate relative to the anchor, and adjust the offset on both x and y to get the positioning where you want it.
I'm sure there are lessons on Anchored Objects on Lynda.com.

How to align text vertically?

This seems like it should be really easy: On a simple text slide, how do I align multiple lines of text vertically? Do I have to eyeball it, or is there a way to fix it exactly in the center, top to bottom?

Hi -
There is no automatic way, but there is a way to make it slightly easier.
After you enter your text, grab the clip of type and move it to a portion of the timeline where there are no other clips.
In the Canvas click on the button on the top right and select Checkerboard:
!http:/www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/CanvasCheckerboardBG.jpg!
This will make the background a checkerboard so you can count the squares to verify the top and bottom line are equidistant from the TV Safe Guidelines:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/CanvasCheckerBoardExample.jpg!
When you are done positioning the type, grab the clip and place it above the clip you originally wanted it to appear over.
You can either leave the Canvas set to display a checkerboard when there is no video present, or switch it back to Black.
Hope this helps.

How to shift text within an envelope template

Hello,
I have created an envelope template to mail out some thank you notes. The envelope size is smaller than the average business envelope (3.75 x 5" vs. the standard business). Naturally, I went in to page setup and created a custom size for this template. I ran into trouble when I saw that the recipient's name and address blocks are too far shifted to the right. They run off the page and forces many other pages to be created as a result.
How can I shift the text back to the left? I, like many other smart users, have shifted to the iwork suite recently and I am having a little trouble assimilating. I tried to highlight the text and click the downward triangle, but the triangle will only shift right, and not left.
I skimmed through other posts and couldn't find anything similar to my situation. Thank you for your help.

Yes, I actually haven't thought of that yet. However, I'm attempting to merge my contacts within address book.
I feel like it shouldn't take any drastic change in my document. I guess if all else fails, I'll resort to looking for that merge widget.

How can align text with a video?

I recently received an .avi of a software demo with system sound that needs to be deleted from a customer. I also received a .txt file of the text that should be spoken during the video. The question is : how do I align the text (both spoken and CC notes) with the video? I need to theoretically be able to watch the video as I align the CC notes.
Let me know if you have any tips!
Thank you ..

Depending on your version of Cp, you will likely need to convert the AVI to FLV before you can import it into Captivate. At some point either before or after you convert the file you will need to remove the current sound track. If you want Closed Captioning in Captivate to synch with the audio then you will need the audio file to be inserted as Slide Audio.
Getting Slide Audio to synch perfectly with an Event Video or Multi-Slide video can be tricky and unreliable because it depends a lot on factors outside your control such as the end user's PC and how well it can decode video as well as how much bandwith they have for the download to happen quickly.

How to align text?

Hi there,
I'm trying to align all my text because on screen it appears to be very messy. usually i used "\n" to go to the next line. But what kind of syntax must i use to align like column by column as follows
Apple Sweet $0.50
Pear Sour $0.90
It appears to be that "\t" cannot be used in J2ME. Is there any other ways which i can do it.Thanks!

As far as I know, you can't align in tab format. J2ME Polish allows you to do this though. So if you want to go that way, then you can create as many columns as you want in the form and each col's width can be specified.
