Change text and button alignment

[The-any-Key]

When you set the position (SetPosition) of a text or button. It always alight (for me at least) from the center of the text and button.
Is it possible to change alignment or move the pivot point? So it calc the new position from the left side of a text or button?
I tested with:

require "constants"
...
function MyRecipePopup:Refresh()
	self.name:SetHAlign(ANCHOR_LEFT)
...

So my guess SetHAlign is more for the widget anchour in the container rather than the text alignment.
