par.Bold = true;
par.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = TXTextControl.HorizontalAlignment.Center;
textControl1.ParagraphStyles.Add(par);

textControl1.Select(0,0);
textControl1.Selection.FormattingStyle = "CenterBold";

TextControl1.Text = "TX Text Control"

Dim par As TXTextControl.ParagraphStyle = New TXTextControl.ParagraphStyle("CenterBold")
