SetTextAlign() help!

ok i read that if you do SetTextAlign(hdc, TA_RIGHT); the text would become right justified....then why doesnt this work...its under WM_PAINT

Code:

---

                        SetTextAlign(hdc, TA_RIGHT);

                        TextOut(hdc, 0, 0, TEXT("0123456789"), 10);

---

and yes i did declare a handle to device context with hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps);

....please explain..and help

i think after:

SetTextAlign(hdc, TA_RIGHT);

windows will interpret the coordinates in TextOut as the right
corner of the text string rect. not the top-left corner which
is the default.



TextOut(hdc, 0, 0, TEXT("0123456789"), 10);



*also check your font.is it system font?

still seems left to me...all it did was make it right justified...
