Question

I cannot find a property that would allow me to align text inside vb.net combo box. Text Boxes have TextAlign Property, but Combo Box does not have that. Is there another property that is used by Combo Box? Or is there another way to do it?

Thanks

If the combo’s DropDownStyle is set to DropDownList you can do it by owner drawing the items. To do that set its DrawMode property to OwnerDrawFixed and put something like this in the DrawItem event:

If e.Index >= 0 Then
    Using st As New StringFormat With {.Alignment = StringAlignment.Far}
        e.Graphics.DrawString(sender.Items(e.Index).ToString, e.Font, Brushes.Black, e.Bounds, st)
    End Using
End If
