CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hi, I notice that some controls(such as staticimage , statictext) has both HorizontalAlignment property and HorzFormatting property, what's the difference ? I'm puzzled---- And also VerticalAlignment and VertFormatting.

Thanks!

Hi,

i can understand the confusion, don't worry

The Alignment properties manage widget positions and alignment in relation to other widgets to provide a very basic automatic layout mechanism.

The Formatting properties manages the position and alignment of a widget's content, such as text. If you are looking at laying out your text within a textbox for example, you need the Formatting properties.

HTH.

Thanks scriptkid, I got it.
