Subject: Center Canvas & TListview in Builder

Hi,

I'm programming in BCB6 a componente derivated from TListBox. What I'm trying to do, is to put the strings in the objetc, centered inside the Canvas.

For example; I have one TListBox with an Height of 100. But i only have one Item, so I don't want that it displays in the top. I would want that it displays in the middle of the control, about in the pixel 40 of "y", so it looks more centered.

I set the Style variable to lbOwnerDrawVariable, and I created a DrawItem method wich override the original one. Realize that I'm developing a component itself, not an application. In fact, the MoveTo() and Draw() methods wich I use, was called from the DrawItem method of the component.

Also, if I add some Items in tne first positions of the ListBox, then the user can select some "white blanks", so it isn't what i want.

I tried to down the Canvas by making some like:

Canvas->TextOut(Rect.Left, Rect.Top+OFFSET, Items->Strings[Index]);

But although in that way, the text of the ListBox appears at Y+Offset, the selection of the item is done at (Rect.Left, Rect.Top), so if you click in the text, you get nothing, because the control only understands clicks in their correct place.

Please, how can I center the items in the Y axis? Is it possible?

Regards,
Joan Leser
