Spent most of the afternoon fiddling with this. I'm convinced that the wxALIGN_CENTRE flag doesn't work.

I've written a little subroutine which does what I want; it's OK but it shouldn't be necessary

sub centre_text{
  # centre_text( $text_control, $container );
  # Not enough error checking, really ...
  my ( $text_control, $container ) = @_;
  my ($container_width) = $container->GetSizeWH();
  my ($text_width) = $container->GetTextExtent( $text_control->GetLabe
+l() );
  my ( $text_x, $text_y ) = $text_control->GetPositionXY();
  $text_control->Move( ($container_width-$text_width)/2, $text_y );
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
