I'm trying to create an editbox with the following style:

Edit1->Attr.Style|=ES_READONLY | ES_CENTER;


where Edit1 is a pointer to type TEdit in the Borland OWL.
The compiler is 3.1.  I get the proper READONLY behavior, but
the strings I put in the Editbox (upon allocation with new)
are not centered.  I also tried adding the ES_CENTER to some
of the example programs like edittest.cpp and was unsuccessful. 


Am I compiling with some wrong flag or is this a known problem?

The reason I want to use an Editbox instead of a TStatic object
is because I wasn't pleased with the positioning of the centered
text in my Static child window.

Thanks for any help,
