Combobox Gap

[Eleventeen]

If you notice when there is text in the text box portion on a Combobox there is a big gap between the border and the first charcter.

In a Textbox though, the text is displayed right next to the border.

 

I have a number of both controls on a form and it looks really bad with the spaces in the Comboboxes. Is there a way to have the Textbox have the gap or the combobox lose the gap?

I had the same problem once when by accident I put a blank space in the code to clear the textbox, like this:

txtItem.Text = " "

Then each item was added to the combo box with a gap on the left.

Not sure what you mean here?

 

I don't have any gaps? Are you talking about the indentation? If so just aligh the text to suit your needs, left, centre or right.
