I’m trying to bind Horizontal Alignment on a button to a template parameter, it’s an int… I’ve tried 0-5 and get ```auto Error setting property to '1' for binding on button.button.Button.horizontalAlignment at com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.binding.AbstractPropertyAdapter.updateTarget(AbstractPropertyAdapter.java:327) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: horizontalAlignment at javax.swing.AbstractButton.checkHorizontalKey(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.setHorizontalAlignment(Unknown Source) ``` What’s the trick? ---

I guess I didn’t actually try 0-5… or had something goofed up when I did it. Even so, it’s kind of tricky. To make this work, you have to use values of: ```auto 0 = Center 2 = Left 4 = Right 11 = Trailing ``` found here: [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/constant-values.html](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/constant-values.html) under ‘SwingConstants’
