I can't seem to find a property that sets text displayed in a combobox to the center of the box.

Is there a way to do this? Maybe I just missing something obvious!

No the text is always left aligned unles you change the RightToLeft property which will then change the alignment to the Left. (However this deals with languages that are read from Right to Left as opposed to left to right.) You may be able to override the control to get the text to center itself, hoewver, I am not sure of that.

Just sort of thinking out loud... Perhaps you could substitute a RichTextBox, formatted to look like a textbox, and set the format of the text to be centered (rather than setting the control to do the centering).

You could fake it by padidng the text with spaces, but (of course) if the box is connected to data that would be no good...

Appreciate the comments from the both of you. I keep thinking there just has to be a better way, but sure don't seem to be able to come up with it.

Will keep watching, maybe someone has a solution.
