TESetAlignment

Header: TextEdit.h Carbon status: Not Recommended

void TESetAlignment (
    SInt16 just, 
    TEHandle hTE
);
Parameter descriptions
just

The alignment for the specified text.The default value of the just field of the edit structure is teFlushDefault. This means that text alignment is based on the primary line direction which is set by default according to the system script.

For a description of the values you can use in this parameter, see “Text Alignment Constants”.

hTE

A handle to the edit structure containing the text.

DISCUSSION

For languages that are read from right to left, text is right aligned by default. For languages that are read from left to right, text is left aligned by default. If you change the alignment, call the Window Manager function InvalRect after TESetAlignment to redraw the text with the new alignment.

TextEdit does not support justified alignment. To draw justified text, use the QuickDraw Text functions.
