Is there a text Right Align function?

New comment
 
I am currently using this to print something below the Ask price:
ObjectDelete(objName);
ObjectCreate(objName, OBJ_TEXT, 0, Time[10], Ask);
ObjectSetText(objName, "a very long statement about forex trading", 12, "Arial", EMPTY);
ObjectSet(objName, OBJPROP_COLOR, Yellow);


Question is, if the statement is very long, It will not completely show up as part of it will be out of screen.
Currently, I am trying to display it at Time[10].. But if the user decided to Zoom in, the text will then be displayed to the left side..

Is there a way to "Right Align" the text so that regardless of zoom factor, it will always show the whole statement perpectly on the screen?
 
Text alignment cannot be changed, sorry
 
If there is no "alignment" functionality, is there a way for EA to know the zoom level?

ie, if the chart is fully zoomed out, then I can set the text be printed at Time[20]. and if the chart is fully zoomed in, then I can set the text be printed at Time[5].. etc

can it be detected at all?
 
Try creating an OBJ_LABEL instead of OBJ_TEXT.

The labels have anchor points that are x-y coordinates of the screens pixels, and they will stay in the same relative position regardless of how the chart is zoomed.

BTW, I really wish that I could right align the descriptions of OBJ_LABEL objects.
