Hi,

I would like the text in my ccombo box appear right aligned. I cannot
set SWT.RIGHT when I create it nor do I see any methods that would let
me right align the content. Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks , Nigel

You are right you cannot use SWT.RIGHT with CCombo but you can try using the orientation flag SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT while creating the CCombo. I'm not sure if it is exactly what you're looking for, it seems to right align the text in the drop-down list (but not in the combo's text box itself).

Hi Arun, thanks for getting back to me. I had looked at
SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT but figured that was more applicable to supporting
bidi text, not exactly what I was looking for. I found that if the text
is numeric the CCombo should right align but I was wanting to display
values with a % sign. This causes the CCombo to left align as text.
Sadly I've still not found a solution to this SWT quirk.
