Align the Caption of an Option Button with the Control

  • Article

The following example demonstrates the Alignment property used with several OptionButton controls. In this example, the user can change the alignment by clicking a ToggleButton.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains the following controls:

  • Two OptionButton controls named OptionButton1 and OptionButton2.

  • A ToggleButton named ToggleButton1.

Dim OptionButton1 
Dim OptionButton2 
Dim ToggleButton1 
 
Sub Item_Open() 
 Set OptionButton1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("OptionButton1") 
 Set OptionButton2 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("OptionButton2") 
 Set ToggleButton1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages.Item("P.2").Controls("ToggleButton1") 
 
 OptionButton1.Alignment = 0 'fmAlignmentLeft 
 OptionButton2.Alignment = 0 'fmAlignmentLeft 
 
 OptionButton1.Caption = "Alignment with AutoSize" 
 OptionButton2.Caption = "Choice 2" 
 OptionButton1.AutoSize = True 
 OptionButton2.AutoSize = True 
 
 ToggleButton1.Caption = "Left Align" 
 ToggleButton1.WordWrap = True 
 ToggleButton1.Value = True 
End Sub 
 
Sub ToggleButton1_Click() 
 If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then 
 ToggleButton1.Caption = "Left Align" 
 OptionButton1.Alignment = 0 'fmAlignmentLeft 
 OptionButton2.Alignment = 0 'fmAlignmentLeft 
 Else 
 ToggleButton1.Caption = "Right Align" 
 OptionButton1.Alignment = 1 'fmAlignmentRight 
 OptionButton2.Alignment = 1 'fmAlignmentRight 
 End If 
End Sub
