combo text align

[GraeagleBill]

There's several posts on the subject, but I've not found one that solved my issue. Maybe I ought to mention that with this latest hip surgery that I'm totally sleep deprived and not seeing things for what they are. Anyway, I can't figure out why my combo won't align to the center.

Public Function ChoseDay()
Me.LBLcHOOSE.Visible = True
Me.cmboChoose.Visible = True
Me.cmboChoose.SetFocus
Me.cmboChoose.Dropdown


End Function

I even added a code statement Me.cmboChoose.textalign = 2 after the SetFocus, but no cigar!

I do not see that in your pics?
Why not just do it in design?, why in code?

FWIW Me.sfcsfrmDaily!cboMealTypeFK.TextAlign = 2 works fine for me.

It's set in the design mode Properties for the combo. I just added the code statement during the course of forcing the issue.

I fear something else is drastically wrong, even the AfterUpdate event isn't working with a debug statement Msgbox cboChoose.column(1), Nothing displays!!! I did a copy/paste of the controls for the label and the combo and the AfterUpdate works successfully, though the combo box still adjusts to the Right.

I'm going to assume I somehow have a corrupted host form. I will create an entirely new form and see if the problems follow.

YEP! The host form of the combo was apparently corrupt, as a re-build yields a functional combo box yet again without the text centered alignment.

I set TextAlign property to Center and both list and text are centered but first line in list is offset 1 space.

Very nice Jun7, your reference did the trick!
