I'm almost positive that I've done this before I want the text that is typed in the edit box to be centered. I can't find it in the properties. Can I do this, or I'm I just remembering fake thoughts?

You can do it via an event using the Rich Edit Object but not the Edit Box as far as I can tell

Nope, it can be done. Look at the screen shot then go see for yourself. It works if you have the latest build.

Maybe it's a dev only option? I doubt it though. That's really really strange.

Here's a mfa with the text centered and the compiled exe for you to look at.

This is getting stranger by the post. I don't have the option when I open your mfa, but the text is quite nicely centred in the compiled exe.

I don't have it either, so it's probably a Dev feature.

In that case, what a bizarrely petty feature to let Dev users have X)

Curse you and your ability to center-justify the edit box! However will I make a decent game with such limitations

Well I don't have that feature BUT, I used the Rich Edit Box like Rob Westbrook said and aligned the text through the editor. All I did was take off the vertical scrolling, and it acts just like an edit box

Okay I have MMF2 Developer. I tried on my laptop and it didn't have that feature. But on my desktop that I'm on now, I do have it. My desktop is running the latest MMF2 Dev Beta. So they must have put it in one of the betas recently. Sumo148 - grab the latest MMF2 Standard Beta: http://www.clickteam.com/epicenter/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=165316#Post165316 and see if it works.

Oh, are you sure that is possible? You know that centered text is key to a GOTW winning game.

So that's where I've been going wrong!
