PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

I'm trying to output some text that consist of a centred para header in bold followed by a blank line followed by some 2 or 3 lines of para text. I want the whole thing kept together on the same page. Below is the code I'm using. It works Ok except that the para header does not centre. The tab is applied as though it were a left align. Any ideas?

style = doc.Styles.AddStyle("bold", "Normal");
style.Font.Bold = true;

style = doc.Styles.AddStyle("leftalign", "Normal");
style.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Left;
style.Font.Bold = false;

para = section.AddParagraph();
para.Format.KeepTogether = true;
para.Format.AddTabStop(doc.DefaultPageSetup.PageWidth / 2, MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.TabAlignment.Center);
para.AddFormattedText("\tPara header", "bold");
para.AddText("\r\n\r\n");
para.AddFormattedText("some text for 2 or lines", "leftalign");

Hi!

I haven't tried your snippet, but normally Tabs work.

Instead of calling
I'd call


If that doesn't help, try

instead of


Using "\t" should work but I know that AddTab() does work ...

Hi Thomas,
I've tried the changes you suggest but it still left aligns the text at the tab instead of centering it.

Hi, Dave,

If you provide a MigraDoc DDL file (can be attached in a ZIP file) I'll look at it.

Thomas,
before you do that, I may have a clue. If I change the calculation of the mid pt for the tab
from
doc.DefaultPageSetup.PageWidth / 2
to
(doc.DefaultPageSetup.PageWidth / 2) - doc.DefaultPageSetup.LeftMargin
it looks like it centres correctly. Are the origins of the tab positions from the edge of the page or from the left margin?

From the left margin (similar to Word).

Didn't pay attention to it but now that you mention it.

So: problem solved, I presume.

Yes, thanks.
So, just to confirm, to get the centre of the printable area would be:

(doc.DefaultPageSetup.PageWidth - doc.DefaultPageSetup.LeftMargin - doc.DefaultPageSetup.RightMargin) / 2
