How to centrelize a container below the root container in wdDoModifyView

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am using the wdDoModifyView in order to create dynamic UI.

I am building a table in a container and add this container to the root container.

The table is centralised in the new container.

The problem is that at the result the table is not centralized, that is because the container added to the rot is not.

The layout of the root is Grid Layout, so if I would do this at design time I would set the HAlign property of the container below the root one to be center but I don't see this option in the container API. I assume I will need to play a bit with the layouts in runtime.

Can anyone please supply a piece of code for that?

Thanks,

Roy

Why not just giving the root container a matrix layout and adding the table into the root container directly? Set table.layoutData = MatrixHeadData with hAlign=center.

Because that container needs to be destroyed next time you run wdModifyView and I can't destroy the root container....

Why do you need to destroy it?

because I'd like to rebuild it, how does it affect my question? I just like to centrelize one container inside another in runtime....

Well, if you don't like my questions which I'm asking to completely understand the use case and find the best solution, then I am not asking anymore.

Armin,

I apologize if I've offended you but my question is very simple and has nothing to do with my situation (at least from my point of view): How to centralize one container inside another at run-time?

I already wrote it:

Container: MatrixLayout

Child: MatrixHeadData, hAlign=center

And I already wrote: That will centralize the table within the child container but the child container itself will still be at the left of the root container, so the entire table with be at the left.

Wait, I thought you mean mean setting table as MatrixHeadData, hAlign=center.

Setting root container as MatrixLayout and child as MatrixHeadData with hAlign=center did work. Thank you.
