SetWindowText() style question

[econy]

I have a static control area, it is about 4 lines height. if I only have one string to display, How can I make it horizontal and vertical center? Thanks

By using the SS_CENTER[^] style.

For the horizontal center, use SS_CENTER, there is not vertical center for CStatic ( or Cedit), you will have to do it manually.

I'd rather be phishing!

I use \r\n, almost got vertical center effect

If you want it to be exact then you need to use a different control (possibly a RichEdit) or subclass the label and do your own painting of the text.

Exactly what Richard said above just subclass a static text box and you can use it over and over again. I have a standard code I use to do what you are doing and it also allows you to change the font, text color and background color as well which is all fairly trivial. Let me know if you want to see how to code it as I wont paste that amount of code if you don't need it.
