Combobox Showing Right Justified
in [Visual Basic]
|
From: David on 19 Mar 2010 16:03 I have a combobox where some of the items are longer than the listbox part of the combo. If the item text width selected is <= the combo width the item text displays correctly. However if the item text width is > the combo width then the item text shows as right justified cutting off the left portion of the item text. Anyway to resolve so you see the left not right side of the item text? Thanks David

That's not normal for the standard VB combobox control. Is the RightToLeft property of the control set to True? What version of VB are you using? What version of Windows? What locale?

If you select an item from the list portion of the combobox, it shows up highlighted in the text field, and if it's longer than the text field the left part is hidden, the cursor is on the rightmost side. Of course, then setting Combo.SelLength = 0 would do the trick, but no event of the combo is triggered by the users action :-( Helmut.
From: David on 19 Mar 2010 17:58 Thanks for both responses. Mr. Meukel: Thanks for confirmation. Don't know if any SendMessage Const is available to correct this. Will check. Will post if I find.
