TextAlignmentPoint Example

Using Programming Languages other than VBA

Sub Example_TextAlignmentPoint()
	' This example creates a text object in model space.
	' It then changes the TextAlignmentPoint and HorizontalAlignment
	' properties of the text object.

	Dim textObj As AcadText
	Dim textString As String
	Dim insertionPoint(0 To 2) As Double
	Dim height As Double

	' Define the text object
	textString = "Hello, World."
	insertionPoint(0) = 3: insertionPoint(1) = 3: insertionPoint(2) = 0
	height = 0.5

	' Create the text object in model space
	Set textObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddText(textString, insertionPoint, height)
	ZoomAll
	MsgBox "The TextAlignmentPoint is set to the default " & textObj.TextAlignmentPoint(0) & ", " & textObj.TextAlignmentPoint(1) & ", " & textObj.TextAlignmentPoint(2), vbInformation, "TextAlignmentPoint Example"

	' Change the value of the HorizontalAlignment and
	' TextAlignmentPoint properties.
	' Note that the HorizontalAlignment property must be changed first,
	' and to a value that requires the TextAlignmentPoint, before the
	' TextAlignmentPoint property will allow a value to be set.
	Dim alignmentPoint(0 To 2) As Double
	alignmentPoint(0) = 5: alignmentPoint(1) = 3: alignmentPoint(2) = 0
	textObj.HorizontalAlignment = acHorizontalAlignmentFit
	textObj.TextAlignmentPoint = alignmentPoint
	ZoomAll
	MsgBox "The TextAlignmentPoint is set to " & textObj.TextAlignmentPoint(0) & ", " & textObj.TextAlignmentPoint(1) & ", " & textObj.TextAlignmentPoint(2) & vbCrLf & "The HorizontalAlignment is set to acHorizontalAlignmentFit", vbInformation, "TextAlignmentPoint Example"

End Sub
