Cannot find TextBox TextAlignment block

[AyProductions]

Hi. I am making a word processor. I have to align the text. I cannot find the TextAlignment block. So how do I align textBox text with blocks? can you please please help me with this?

[gordonlu310]

TextAlignment is only available in the Designer.

Captured from the App Inventor documentation.

then how can I align text with blocks?

I'm afriad there is not a way to do this.

You can add a feature request issue in GitHub.

I have submitted the issue. Thanks

You can use the CompCreator extension to set the TextAlignment property of a textbox:

Great.

@AyProductions, you can temporarily use Tim's solution, until there is a built-in block way.

@gordonlu310

temporarily

lol - it could be a long wait.....

[gordonlu310]

It could be. @preetvadaliya already requested to work on this.

[AyProductions]

@TIMAI2 thanks it works!

@gordonlu310 yeah i saw that

and i also requested fontUnderline property in GitHub issue!

[preetvadaliya]

@TIMAI2 I think TextAlignment is not that much important and makes sense while you are taking input from the user.

[AyProductions]

But I saw your Github reply. My app is a word processor. It needs text alignment

[preetvadaliya]

Then use @TIMAI2 solution.

[AyProductions]

Yes his solution works. So will you introduce that block, or not??

[preetvadaliya]

Wait for Evan's reply on issue

[AyProductions]

Ok sure. Will he reply on Github or this community??

[preetvadaliya]

On GitHub or maybe here also.

Very interesting, comp creator is not only used to create components but also to integrate existing ones

[TIMAI2]

The Set Property of Component feature is just awesome
