    Hi guys ¿Do you know a way to show a long text (CString) in a CStatic justified or left aligned? Thanks in forwarding. Dr.Pî

    Text is left justified by default. :confused: Perhaps I'm misunderstanding.

    "Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." - Ellen Goodman

        the famous CMyStatic, how did I forget about? :)

          Are you using TextOut()?

                And what is the value of the second argument?

                  The problem is that I have a CString too long for the width of the control (then I have to show as multiline). Then, I don't know how to manage this.

                    If this is a CStatic control, why aren't you using SetWindowText(), rather than rendering the text yourself with TextOut()?

                      Cause in addition to the text I have graphics in the same CStatic derived class. SetWindowText() don't have any control about in which position inside the control you write your text. Imagine a INFO panel where there is a border, some graphics and a multiline text. Anyway don't worry, I've found a simple way. Dr.Pi
