When i tried to do something like that, i overrided the Paint function, actually i weren't able to select the text

Is this even possible? I'm pretty sure the text inside the text entry is all handled in the engine.
However, you can try a real hacky workaround by using this '[URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/VGUI/Elements/DTextEntry/OnValueChange"]DTextEntry:OnValueChange()[/URL]' and adding spaces appropriately to try and push your actual text into the centre.

You can use PaintOver with what Braden said and align it with something like

draw.DrawText(DTextEntry:GetValue(), "DermaLarge", 0, 0, Color(255, 255, 255), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)

however if it gets too long it won't really work out..

DTextEntry:SetContentAlignment( 5 ) maybe?

Nop.

SetContentAlignment doesent work :

--EYE ANGLE OWNER
                local OwnerAngBox = vgui.Create("DTextEntry", OwnerPanel)
                OwnerAngBox:SetText( tostring( math.Round( ply:EyeAngles().x , 3) ) .. "," .. tostring( math.Round( ply:EyeAngles().y , 3) ) .. "," .. tostring( math.Round( ply:EyeAngles().z , 3) ) )
                OwnerAngBox:SetPos(10,90)
                OwnerAngBox:SetContentAlignment( 5 )
                OwnerAngBox:SetSize(160,20)
                OwnerAngBox:SetEditable(false)

Looking at the engine control ( TextEntry.h ), this isn't supported out of the box - you'll have to do the painting yourself, unfortunately.
