I'm glad to help people discover Gambas.

Alignment works like it does in a spreadsheet cell.  It refers to where the 
text will appear on the label/button/whatever.... left justified, centered, 
at the top, at the bottom, etc.  You can see it more easily if you experiment 
with it using a pretty big control.  I'm pretty sure VB has the same property 
though I don't remember, it might be called "align" or something instead.

They're part of the gb.qt.ext component.  In Project Properties you can check 
it off and it'll appear in your toolbox (much like selecting a component in 
VB.)

Like the two above controls, it's part of gb.qt.ext.

As our first novice VB programmer posting to the list, you're preparing us for 
what happens once Gambas gets to 1.0 and everyone hears about it.  So don't 
hold back ;)

This list isn't just me by the way, you just happened to catch me on a night 
when I went to bed late and then woke up early.

Thanks
