display the data in combo box

ajit kumar

Dear all,
I am populating data from the database in my C# windows application at run time. By default data is displayed from right to left. If the length of the data that has to be displayed in combo box is greater than that of the size of the combo box then it truncates the data from the left but i want the data should be truncated from the right. So that i can get to know what are the exact value of the combo box that i have selected.
Plz help me to come out of this problem.

Thank U in Advance.

Hi I think you don't think about it.
because when you get data from database and show in combo box,
it not have problem. if you have long data, it still show in combo box.

Hello Dear,
                Actually when i click the arrow key one drop down list appears with the combo box list. Now i select a particular item(text) from the list and that selected item will be shown in the combo box from right to left. What i m expecting is once i select the item from the list it should be displayed in combo box from left to right. One more thing once i move the cursor from the next field it automatically shows the selected item from left to right in combo box.

                                                         Thax in Advance.

Well I'm not sure if you can do this specifically...but there is something else you can do. You can set the combo box's "DropDownWidth" to a larger size ("comboBox1.DropDownWidth = 100;"), this will make the part of the combo box that "drops down" larger, while the combo box remains the same size.
