SarpDX textformat question

[palinuro]

Hi,

In SharpDX textformat I can only see ways of changing the horizontal formatting (trailing leading etc). Is there a way to center texts vertically within a rectangle?

[tradesmart]

textformat.ParagraphAlignment = SharpDX.DirectWrite.ParagraphAlignment.Center ;

I try this, but it doesn't take any effect.
Text still aligned left.

DxWrite.TextFormat text_format = new DxWrite.TextFormat(NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.DirectWriteFactory, "Arial", DxWrite.FontWeight.Regular, DxWrite.FontStyle.Normal, DxWrite.FontStretch.Normal, height);  
text_format.ParagraphAlignment = SharpDX.DirectWrite.ParagraphAlignment.Center; 

Who knows how to fight it?
