TextAlignment extensions

The TextAlignment extensions provide a series of extension methods that support configuring the text alignment of controls implementing ITextAlignment.

TextStart

The TextStart method sets the ITextAlignment.HorizontalTextAlignment property to TextAlignment.Start.

Here's an example setting Label.HorizontalTextAlignment to TextAlignment.Start using TextStart:

new Label().TextStart()

TextCenterHorizontal

The TextCenterHorizontal method sets the ITextAlignment.HorizontalTextAlignment property to TextAlignment.Center.

Here's an example setting Label.HorizontalTextAlignment to TextAlignment.Center using TextCenterHorizontal:

new Label().TextCenterHorizontal()

TextEnd

The TextEnd method sets the ITextAlignment.HorizontalTextAlignment property to TextAlignment.End.

Here's an example setting Label.HorizontalTextAlignment to TextAlignment.End using TextEnd:

new Label().TextEnd()

TextJustify

The TextJustify method sets the ITextAlignment.HorizontalTextAlignment property to TextAlignment.Justify.

Here's an example setting Label.HorizontalTextAlignment to TextAlignment.Justify using TextJustify:

new Label().TextJustify()

The TextTop method sets the ITextAlignment.VerticalTextAlignment property to TextAlignment.Start.

Here's an example setting Label.VerticalTextAlignment to TextAlignment.Start using TextTop:

new Label().TextTop()

TextCenterVertical

// ...

new Label().TextLeft()

TextRight

The TextRight method sets the ITextAlignment.HorizontalTextAlignment property to TextAlignment.End, aligning to left-to-right script.

Here's an example setting Label.HorizontalTextAlignment to TextAlignment.End using TextRight:

using CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup.LeftToRight;

// ...

new Label().TextRight()
