You mean $WS_EX_RIGHT.

[jennico]

dude, where did you find that $WS_EX_RIGHT ?

but it does not really solve the problem, since the dropdown handle is to the left now.

no possibility to just right align the text ?

found something in vb:

Set the CB's RightToLeft property to True

Me.ComboBox1.RightToLeft = Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes

this can be realized from the combo's context menu.

but how to do this in autoit ?

no. this is the same as $WS_EX_RIGHT.

google says it's not possible, right aligning in combobox.

Hmm... What about this?

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Dim $hGUI = GUICreate('Test', 200, 300)
Dim $ComboBox = GUICtrlCreateCombo('', 0, 0, 200, 200, -1, $WS_EX_RIGHT)
Dim $Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit('', 10, 210, 180, 23, BitAND($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_EDIT, BitNOT($WS_HSCROLL)))
Dim $Button = GUICtrlCreateButton('Te&st', 70, 250, 60, 23)
GUICtrlSetData($ComboBox, '1|abc|00|## | 03 01|2          ')

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $Button
            Local $sStr = GUICtrlRead($Edit)
            If $sStr <> '' Then GUICtrlSetData($ComboBox, $sStr & '|')
        
        Case -3
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
    
    Sleep(40)
WEnd
GUIDelete()

yes, that's the only thing one can do. not quite what i attempted but thank you.

i've searched other forums and this natively seems not to be featured for combos. only thing is to use RightToLeft display if you have installed the foreign languages.
