Remarks

The TextAlignment property determines how the text is positioned relative to the control edges.

If the TextAlignment property value is not set for the current report control, its value is taken from its parent. The TextAlignment value of the current control applies to all of its child report controls (if any – in the XRControl.Controls collection) if the TextAlignment property for the child controls is not specified. For more information on this concept, review the following help topic: Appearance Properties.

Not all XRControl class descendants use the TextAlignment property. This property is not available for the XRPageBreak class.

The horizontal alignment specified by the TextAlignment property is ignored when the XRLabel.AutoWidth property is set to true.

When the Justify alignment is used, all lines except for the last line of the paragraph are aligned. Thus, if the paragraph consists of one line, the output is identical to the Left alignment.
