I was wondering if anybody knew how to right-align items in a menu (i.e. for hotkey references). I know that in C++ you can add a '\a' in the string and it will right align everything following that, but this obviously does not work in DBP. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I assume that you could use a character code to achieve this, however I do not know what it would be.

Thanks, but it didn't work it just displayed a little 'box' character instead of aligning things. In C++ I have created menus in the resource file
that do not include the 'a' just a tab character and are right aligned for the hotkey references. It may not be possible to do this through blue (it may have to be through a resource file). I know the code for the 'tab' character (9) and have tried that, but it simply tabs the text over (left aligned still). I am wondering if the '&' character might affect this, however I do not really know the purpose of it or where to place it as I did not originally write the above code but simply modified it from a website.

The & character just shows the menu what the hotkey is. &U means the user can type "U" to shortcut to that option. Sorry I can't help further.

I'm not a real programmer but I play one with DBPro!
