Textformat.alignment

I want to set the text alignment of a box when the user clicks a toolbutton. So I used the following code in my click event.

Code
Select All
(flowChart.ActiveObject as Box).TextFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Near;


But the box does not show any effect until I resize or move the box. Only then the text is aligned to the left side.

What is going wrong?

StringFormat is a standard .NET class and FlowChart.NET cannot detect changes done to the StringFormat properties. You could either assign a whole StringFormat object to the Box.TextFormat, or explicitly call FlowChart.Invalidate after changing Box.TextFormat.Alignment.

I hope that helps,

Invalidating won't be enough if using polygonal text layout or styled text, so it might be better to assign a new StringFormat object to the Box.TextFormat.

Perfect !

Here's my code for alignment left, in case others have the same problem:

Code
Select All
StringFormat format = new StringFormat();
format.Alignment = StringAlignment.Left;
format.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;
(flowChart.ActiveObject as Box).TextFormat = format;


Thanks

Dirk
