Barry,

If your ComboBox can have the DropDownStyle of DropDownList instead of DropDown, then it will work the way you want it to. The difference between the two is that DropDown allows editable text and DropDownList does not.

>hi
>i have some comboboxes linked to strings that are longer than the physical combo on the page. so what happenes is that when i tab into the combo, the text jumps out to the left, so that the cursor is displayed at the end of the trailing spaces.
>anyone know of a way to trim the content here, or to align the text so that i can see the start of the string and not the end. i'd still like the text to be all selected on entry.
>thx in advance.
