 Left of Text in TextBoxes |

Hi,
I notice that it is difficult for me to align textBoxes with different fontsizes since it seems as the text start coordinate in the x plane is depending on fontsize and I suppose font.
Is there a way for me to position text so it aligns properly in the x-plane easily or do I need to do some fontbased calculations myself?
Maybe I missed something obvious in the API.

Hi Dan,
The issue is not related to the text, but to the left and right margins inside the text box. If the margins are not configured, it will be set automatically and will depend on the main font size.
As a test, you can configure the margins to be 0, and the text will be aligned just like in a word processor. In VB6,
Set t = c.addText(......)
Call t.setMargin(0) 'Set left/top/right/bottom margins to 0
See:

Hope this can help.
