EDALIGN: Changes Justification Style of an Edit Control

EDALIGN is a companion application for the technical article "Edit Controls." The program demonstrates a technique for changing the justification of an edit control. The client area displays two edit controls. You can choose options from the Control 1 and Control 2 menus to left-justify, right-justify, or center the text in the two controls.

It is not possible to change the justification style of an edit control dynamically. There are two techniques commonly used to work around this restriction. The first technique creates multiple edit controls (one for each style the application needs) and switches between them as required. The second technique creates a new edit control with the desired style as needed and switches to the new control. EDALIGN demonstrates the second technique. For more information, see the technical article "Edit Controls."

EDALIGN was built and tested under Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) version 3.1.
