The following code will shift text in text fields (when referenced), but, won't shift the text in buttons. Is this expected behavior? If so, how do you overcome the problem that the built-in text shift for buttons is NOT vertically centered?

Code: Select all

on mouseup
    set the textshift of char 1 to -1 of me to 2
end mouseup

Hi Bill ~
You can set the: bottomMargin, topMargin, leftMargin and rightMargin in pixels, to move the button text right where you wish as:

Code: Select all

set the bottomMargin of btn "myButton" to 30
