I have a user control in which I need to center a single line of text vertically. So far I have a textbox in the panel. The dock property is set to fill. However, the single line of text always displays at the top. How do I get it to be centered vertically?

When it is not set to multi-line, the text box only takes up one line of space. When it is set to multi-line, the text is displayed at the top of the box.

Edit:

As it turns out, it might be better to use a label. How would I get a label's text to be centered vertically and horizontally in a panel. When I set the Dock property to Fill, it doesn't change it size past what is needed to display the current text.

Dock the label in a panel anduse TextAlign onthe label

label.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter;

Hope this helps

I have it docked with fill and middleCenter aligned. For a textbox, that center aligns the text horizontally but not vertically. For a label, it doesn't strech to fill the panel even though the dock is set.
