Hello,

I’m using the useful G4P library.

using  
txfTEST = new GTextField(this, 10, 20, 70, 20);  
txfTEST.setText(strTEST);  
pnlCtrl.addControl(txfTEST);

allows me to define a GTextField object in the panel  
but the text is always aligned to the left.  
is it possible to align the text to the right in a GTextField object ?

Thanks for your answer.

Sorry its not possible to set the text alignment in a GTexfield control.
