**CENTER(** [//offset//] **)**

**DECIMAL(** [//offset//] **)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| //offset// | An integer constant specifying the amount of offset from the justification point. This is in dialog units (unless overridden by the THOUS, MM, or POINTS attribute on a REPORT). For the LEFT attribute, this is PROP:LeftOffset (equivalent to {PROP:LEFT,2}). For RIGHT, this is PROP:RightOffset (equivalent to {PROP:RIGHT,2}). For CENTER, this is PROP:CenterOffset (equivalent to {PROP:CENTER,2}). For DECIMAL, this is PROP:DecimalOffset (equivalent to {PROP:DECIMAL,2}). |

The **LEFT**, **RIGHT**, **CENTER**, and **DECIMAL** attributes specify the justification of data printed. LEFT (PROP:LEFT) specifies left justification, RIGHT (PROP:RIGHT) specifies right justification, CENTER (PROP:CENTER) specifies centered text, and DECIMAL (PROP:DECIMAL) specifies numeric data aligned on the decimal point. These attributes are valid in Clarion Win32 Windows, and also for REPORT structures in both Clarion Win32 and Clarion#.

On the LEFT attribute, //offset// specifies the amount of indention from the left. On the RIGHT attribute, //offset// specifies the amount of indention from the right. The //offset// parameter on the CENTER attribute specifies an offset value from the center (negative = left offset). On the DECIMAL attribute, //offset// specifies the decimal point's indention from the right.

**Window Usage**

{{black.jpg|black.jpg}}

The following controls allow LEFT or RIGHT only (without an //offset// parameter):

BUTTON, CHECK, RADIO.

The following controls allow LEFT(//offset//), RIGHT(//offset//), CENTER(//offset//), or DECIMAL(//offset//):

COMBO, ENTRY, LIST, SPIN, STRING.

The TEXT control allows LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER (without an //offset// parameter).

**Report Usage**

CHECK, GROUP, OPTION, RADIO.

The following controls allow LEFT(//offset//), RIGHT(//offset//), CENTER(//offset//), or DECIMAL(//offset//):

LIST, STRING.

The TEXT control allows LEFT, RIGHT, and CENTER (without an //offset// parameter).
