TextAlign property ?

[Z.K.]

How does one align text in a textbox?

I tried this,
lblPrompt.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;

but it always displays to the far right. I even set it in the control's
property on the design form and still it goes way to the right. The
only way I was able to get it to work properly was to position the
control way to the left. Why is it when I center the control on the
form, the text that I send to the label will not align properly.

Okay I finally got it to work by setting AutoSize = false. I really
think that I like MFC in C++ better than these forms in C#.

You are probably right. I guess I just need to get used to the .NET form.
