Bruce, I don’t thinks that’s true. Let me look a bit and see if I can fix this. I have some pressing family issues at the moment so progress might be delayed. Best, John Sinclair Hi Terry, I've been bothered by the same lack of alignment in our edm text controls. Your email got me thinking about it and I looked into it more. It appears the root problem is that the motif XmTextField widget that this edm widget is based on does not support alignment!
See Looking for TextField with right-align
There are some commercial solutions Oracle Complex Text Layout Extensions to Motif ICS Motif EnhancementPak but I haven't found any open src solution yet.
Regards, - Bruce

The text will always be at the top left corner of the widget input field. This makes some kinds of widget positioning, especially using code generated screens difficult. We're using edm version 1-11-1zm with Text Control major 4 minor 1 version. Does anyone know if this has been fixed in later version of EDM or is it a function of using motif? The widget font justification works as expected if motif isn't selected, unfortunately you are then left with a separate dialog box opening for input. I also know that the Textentry Widget allows direct entry without motif, but it does not allow units to be surpressed and lacks many of the other features of Text Control. Any help would be appreciated, before I try to tear into the widget code myself to see if I can fix the problem.
