Simple way to center text vertically, horizontally, or both?

Simple way to center text vertically, horizontally, or both?

I'm trying to figure out if there is some simple way to display text in a GUI such that the text is centered vertically, horizontally, or both. I've tried using different GUI control styles, but nothing seems to work. I realize that I can probably achieve this effect by changing the "left" and "top" parameters, but I wonder if there is a better (or, at least different) way to accomplish this goal. Here is my example code: #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au
SharkyEXE, I see the "centred" word on my screen. As explained earlier in the thread, at times the Windows seems to return a width value for a string which does then not fit the text when displayed! Despite lots of experimentation I cannot find a reliable solution - it seems to be a combination of specific font sizes and specific display parameters. I suggest you add a couple of pixels to the "width" value returned by the StringSize UDF - which does already add a few pixels as a margin
