I'm trying to have a performance meter display text on a background image. I've only been able to right or left justify it. I can't seem to figure out how to set the mimimum size of a text object to be the same size as the background. If anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it.

You'd probably need to do that in script yourself.
Each object has a Object.Width (how long it is) so you could find out the width of the label and the parent object and then say Object.left = where you need it to go.
Brad, thanks for the tip. I'm trying to mod the digidata IP display to show a barcode similar to the IP Serializer widgit for Konfab. I'll let you know how it goes.
Cool.
Yea use the Object.Width to get the width of a given object in pixels and then its center would be Object.Width/2
Got it working, the following script does the trick. Thanks again for the help. Here's a pic of the finished product (the ip is fake):
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
Object.SetTimer 1,10000
Object_OnTimer1
End Sub
'Called when the script is terminated
Sub Object_OnScriptExit
Object.KillTimer 1
End Sub
Sub Object_OnTimer1
Object.Left = (DesktopX.Object("DigiIPBack").Width - Object.Width) / 2
End Sub
