How to set Dialog text position from code?

Question

Good day all,
I have a simple Dialog started after click button, I post my code:

Dialog dialog;

super();

dialog = new Dialog("Dialog example");

dialog.addText(strFmt("Text to show"));
dialog.addText(strfmt("SecondText to show"));

dialog.run();

I will show a Dialog window loollike this :

It's possible to set the position from code the Text: Text to show ? For example, if I want to centered position the second text how should I do?

I tried to put blanks in the code:

dialog.addText(strfmt("       Text to show"));

But nothing changes, and this I think not good method. I saw any suggestions on Web but or I do not use well or is not suitable for me: Example-suggestions. Exist a method to do what I want?

Thanks for help,

enjoy!

You can center the text using the form control:

Dialog dialog = new Dialog("Dialog example");
DialogText t1 = dialog.addText(strFmt("Text to show"));
DialogText t2 = dialog.addText(strfmt("SecondText to show"));
FormStaticTextControl c1 = t1.control();
c1.widthMode(FormWidth::ColumnWidth);
c1.alignment(FormAlignment::Center);
dialog.run();

The first control is now centered (to the surrounding group). You have to give it ColumnWidth, otherwise the control would have the minimum size and the centering would have no effect.
