Alignment Property Example

The following example demonstrates the Alignment property used with several OptionButton controls. In this example, the user can change the alignment by clicking a ToggleButton.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains the following controls:

• Two OptionButton controls named OptionButton1 and OptionButton2.
• A ToggleButton named ToggleButton1.

Dim OptionButton1
Dim OptionButton2
Dim ToggleButton1

Sub Item_Open()
     Set OptionButton1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("OptionButton1")
     Set OptionButton2 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("OptionButton2")
     Set ToggleButton1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("ToggleButton1")

    OptionButton1.Alignment = 0 'fmAlignmentLeft
    OptionButton2.Alignment = 0 'fmAlignmentLeft

    OptionButton1.Caption = "Alignment with AutoSize"
    OptionButton2.Caption = "Choice 2"
    OptionButton1.AutoSize = True
    OptionButton2.AutoSize = True
    
    ToggleButton1.Caption = "Left Align"
    ToggleButton1.WordWrap = True
    ToggleButton1.Value = True
End Sub

Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
    If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
        ToggleButton1.Caption = "Left Align"
        OptionButton1.Alignment = 0 'fmAlignmentLeft
        OptionButton2.Alignment = 0 'fmAlignmentLeft
    Else
        ToggleButton1.Caption = "Right Align"
        OptionButton1.Alignment = 1 'fmAlignmentRight
        OptionButton2.Alignment = 1 'fmAlignmentRight
    End If
End Sub
