### Description

Gets or sets a value specifying whether text is centered at the current input position. If text is selected, the property specifies this attribute for the whole selected text.

### Syntax

```csharp
public bool? Centered { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property Centered As Boolean?
```

### Examples

The following XAML example binds the Centered property to a ToggleButton:

```plaintext
<ToggleButton 
    Height="29"
    Name="buttonCentered"
    IsChecked="{Binding ElementName=textControl1, Path=InputFormat.Centered, Mode=TwoWay}">
    Centered</ToggleButton>
```

The following example changes the formatting applied to text entered at the end of a document by using `InputFormat.Centered`.

```csharp
textControl.Text = "Project summary";
textControl.InputPosition = new InputPosition(textControl.Text.Length);
InputFormat inputFormat = textControl.InputFormat;

inputFormat.Centered = true;
if (inputFormat.Centered != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Input Format: Centered is available.");
}
```

```vbnet
textControl.Text = "Project summary"
textControl.InputPosition = New InputPosition(textControl.Text.Length)
Dim inputFormat As InputFormat = textControl.InputFormat

inputFormat.Centered = True
If inputFormat.Centered IsNot Nothing Then
    Console.WriteLine("Input Format: Centered is available.")
End If
```

### Remarks

The property returns null when the text selection contains multiple paragraphs with mixed setting.
