This is the Code to Center Align Text in title Bar in Windows Form in c#.

Write The Following Method and call it in Form Load event.

C#

private void UpdateTextPosition()
        {
            Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics();
            Double startingPoint = (this.Width / 2) - (g.MeasureString(this.Text.Trim(), this.Font).Width / 2);
            Double widthOfASpace = g.MeasureString(" ", this.Font).Width;
            String tmp = " ";
            Double tmpWidth = 0;

            while ((tmpWidth + widthOfASpace) < startingPoint)
            {
                tmp += " ";
                tmpWidth += widthOfASpace;
            }

            this.Text = tmp + this.Text.Trim();
        }
