Thanks, Dave for having suggested that I write the implementation code that would define the behavior introduced by the new property. > > . > > --- On Tue, 4/28/09, Rob Kennedy <rkenn...@...> wrote: > > > Yes, TCustomMemo.

In case others would be interested, the actual "alignment" behaviors of a TCustomEdit control (including TCustomMemo) are translated in windows.pas in the Edit Styles constants: ES_LEFT, ES_CENTER, and ES_RIGHT, that we had to associate with the TAlignment objects taLeftJustify, taCenter, and taRightJustify respectively, in an overriden CreateParams procedure. And our TnwEdit's Alignment property executes every time you change its value. Once again, thank you, Dave and Rob! EL
