Entry.align readwrite property
Get or set the Entry alignment, which position and size will be aligned relative to its parent (alignment persists even if the size of the parent changes).
This property uses a string to specify the Entry alignment :
- "all" : the Entry will be aligned along all the parent borders (and will cover the entire parent client area).
- "bottom" : the Entry will be aligned along the bottom border of the parent, preserving its height.
- "top" : the Entry will be aligned along the the top border of the parent, preserving its height.
- "right" : the Entry will be aligned along the right border of the parent, preserving its width.
- "left" : the Entry will be aligned along the left border of the parent, preserving its width.
