I'm almost positive that I've done this before I want the text that is typed in the edit box to be centered. I can't find it in the properties. Can I do this, or I'm I just remembering fake thoughts?

You can do it via an event using the Rich Edit Object but not the Edit Box as far as I can tell

Nope, it can be done. Look at the screen shot then go see for yourself. It works if you have the latest build.

I've got both the regular MMF2 at Build R248 and the HWA at build R249 beta #6, and I don't have that option o__O

Maybe it's a dev only option? I doubt it though. That's really really strange.
Here's a mfa with the text centered and the compiled exe for you to look at.

This is getting stranger by the post. I don't have the option when I open your mfa, but the text is quite nicely centred in the compiled exe.

I don't have it either, so it's probably a Dev feature.

In that case, what a bizarrely petty feature to let Dev users have X)

Curse you and your ability to center-justify the edit box! However will I make a decent game with such limitations

Well I don't have that feature BUT, I used the Rich Edit Box like Rob Westbrook said and aligned the text through the editor. All I did was take off the vertical scrolling, and it acts just like an edit box

Okay I have MMF2 Developer. I tried on my laptop and it didn't have that feature. But on my desktop that I'm on now, I do have it. My desktop is running the latest MMF2 Dev Beta. So they must have put it in one of the betas recently. Sumo148 - grab the latest MMF2 Standard Beta: http://www.clickteam.com/epicenter/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=165316#Post165316 and see if it works.

Oh, are you sure that is possible? You know that centered text is key to a GOTW winning game.
