Well, I have tried and tried and I suspect that I am missing something
simple even though I've built lots and lots of front end stuff. What I
want to do simply is to have the text of a button be left justified.
Here is an example:
CellPrint[Cell[BoxData[
GridBox[{{ButtonBox["this is text"]}},
ColumnWidths -> 20]
], "Text", FontWeight -> "Bold",
FontFamily -> "Helvetica"]]
where the result is centered button text.
I haven't been able to find a way to use TextAlignment and its ilk to
make this happen (even in the case where the argument of the ButtonBox
is itself a Cell expression and other gyrations and mystical tricks).
Anyone want to show me that I have missed something simple? I'd
appreciate that :-)
Thanks,
David
