Anyone know how to align this?

Post by marksmithhfx » Wed Dec 20, 2017 3:16 am

I think I am missing the obvious. I just want the 0 lined up above the other numbers. Any suggestions.

Thanks

Maybe put a space before the 0 to make up for the + sign before all the other numbers?
*Edit - I should clarify that, I mean use a label instead of the name, and in the label contents put the space before the 0 to even it out, like this.

Alternately, you could use right align for the button text.

I did try adding spaces but LC just ignores them. Also, I looked for align but apparently not hard enough. After you mentioned it I looked again and ah ha, there it was. That did the trick!

You are very welcome, I realized almost immediately after posting that I should have clarified that. The name label of the control doesn't allow a space to be recognized, but a label control *does*. Of course, right align would be the best easiest way to do it on the control itself. Doh moment :oops:
