Hi
I am trying to get text aligned vertically on a label.
But not able to find any option for this.
I also want to set an aolsute height for the label.
Currently the label height is the same as that of the text within it.
have tried invoking label.setpreferredHeight(), but does not seem to work.
Any pointers are appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Arun

Hi
By vertical alignment, I meant th alignment of text inside the label,
instead of alignment of the label within its parent.
As attched in this (label_buttons.jpg), I have 4 labels, which I use as
buttons as SWT button foreground and background cannot be customised. The
problem is that the text in one 1 of the 4 labels wraps. Due tp the layout
the height of all 4 lbels also double. But the text in the labels with
non-wrapping text does not align centrally vertically.
Thanks in advance

You will need to provide code.
