<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I have a layer definition that uses a fixed label. The Horizontal
and Vertical alignment properties are set to use properties from the feature
class. The feature source is sdf which is created dynamically during runtime.
The feature with the label (multiline) is shown on the map but the alignment
properties appear to be ignored and always default to &#8216;Center&#8217; for
horizontal alignment and &#8216;Halfline&#8217; for Vertical alignment. I tried
setting the alignment property using the following approaches, for example setting
the horizontal alignment:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Courier New";color:#2B91AF'>MgStringProperty</span><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> hAlignProp = <span
style='color:blue'>new</span> <span style='color:#2B91AF'>MgStringProperty</span>(<span
style='color:#A31515'>&quot;HALIGN&quot;</span>, &#8220;Left&#8221;);<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>properties.Add(hAlignProp);<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>or<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Courier New";color:#2B91AF'>MgStringProperty</span><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'> hAlignProp = <span
style='color:blue'>new</span> <span style='color:#2B91AF'>MgStringProperty</span>(<span
style='color:#A31515'>&quot;HALIGN&quot;</span>, &#8220;\&#8217;Left\&#8217;&#8221;);<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"'>properties.Add(hAlignProp);<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>If the layer definition uses one of the fixed values (ie. &#8216;Left&#8217;)
instead of a property then the alignment works. Does anyone know the proper way
to specify the alignment property for a label? I&#8217;m using MGE 2011.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
