DiagramObject.TextAlign

[qwerty]

The help says

Indicates the alignment of text on a Note element on the diagram.
     1 = Left aligned
     2 = Center aligned
     3 = Right aligned
Defaults to 1 if an invalid value is supplied.

But it always returns 1 and can't be altered. Further: where could that be done with the GUI?

But it always returns 1 and can't be altered.

It reports the wrong value but setting it should work OK.

Ehrm, what? It reports the wrong value? What should be the right one? The text looks left aligned to me. And I wouldn't know how to set a different alignment with the GUI. So what does this API method do?

TextAlign options are available from the Appearance section of the context menu for Text elements. (Not Note elements)

However, I can only get it to read as left or right aligned, and I can only set it to left or center aligned.

Code: [Select]

while(i < selectedObjects.Count)
{
var obj as EA.DiagramObject;
obj = selectedObjects.GetAt(i++);

Session.Output("Alignment: " + obj.TextAlign);
obj.TextAlign = obj.TextAlign%3+1;
obj.Update();
}

I have the same observation: can be set correctly but center is reported wrongly. I guess you will log a bug internally. Could you also ask Roy to add a short sentence that this applies to Text elements?

Did you have a look into the other Show-methods which I posted?
